The sheriff was the first fall in the first general fusillade, for indeed, they say that it seemed that the very clouds opened and bullets rained down upon their luckless heads. I have been anxious to get the New Orleans and Natchez dailies to see whether or not they will charge all this bloody shooting up to just a common drunken brawl. They always say that every sensible thing the Negro does, that he was beastly drunk. Now, use your common sense. Could two drunken Negroes hold off a thousand blood-thirsty white men for ten hours? Could two drunken Negroes kill everybody they shot at? A man to shoot straight must be able to see straight and act straight. The colored people about here were in as great fear as the white people. They took no part in what the brothers did. In such things our people down here never are the aggressors. Sometimes when they are oppressed to the point of human endurance they do like anybody else—protect themselves as best they can, but in the case of Walter and Will Jones, 20 years and 18 years, they had the white people on the run, and nobody for several hours was brave enough to raise a window or peer out of an open door. They say that the whole town trembled for their lives. Everybody was afraid to venture until they got word the soldiers were to reach Harrison within an hour, a few brave ones heavily armed started out to find the two boys. Thead Grayson, a white man, one of the class of white men who want the earth and every colored woman it had, incurred the hatred of Walter Jones, who was himself a fine looking mulatto, because it finally leaked out that Thead Grayson exercised a freedom over Miss Alken, Walter's sweetheart. I am sorry to chronicle that the Negroes were too cowardly to follow the lead of these two martyrs. They gave up their lives protesting against a million inhuman and beastly attacks upon the virtue of their sisters. They could withstand the charge of Negro inferiority no longer, and determined to be made a dog of no longer. Our big Negroes are struck dumb and nobody here can exercise the right of free speech in Harrison but the white men and the colored women. All the trouble is caused by the white brute overlording the Negro by a free hand among the Negro women, who sometimes live in luxury, although it is in disgrace. P. S.—This may be too long for you to print, but I have covered everything as well as I can. Every Negro knows what white people think down in these parts, and therefore they cannot express even the slightest opinion one way or another. I believe that white people should be less bold in violating colored men's homes by ruthless assaults upon hundreds of the best looking women of the race, but it seems that they have a mania which they lack the moral conscience to withstand. Some kind of change must come. The Negro will not always tolerate the wreckless mischief which is forced upon him; sometime he will speak out in tones above a whisper against unjust oppression, and in behalf of his outraged humanity. Plerces Heart of Pretty South Side Malden. Pretty Miss Marie Holliday, 4610 Dearborn street, bookkeeper for Mrs. Clifford Johnson, surprised her relatives and friends on Wednesday by being pierced by "Dan Cupid"—Mr. John Brannon being the lucky man. Miss Holliday had a nice position and was beloved by Mrs. Johnson, but Miss Holliday did not like the life of single blessedness. She quietly resolved to become happier and tied the knot quickly, surprising every one on the south side. led them on south side A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Natchez, Miss., Sept. 29.—Editor The Defender: Your message calling upon me to go to the scene of the crime and get the facts about the Jones brothers reached me O. K. I at once started for the scene of the lynching, bearing my own expenses, because I am a Negro and know how unjust the press news by wire is to true facts and false to my race. I suppose you won't mind helping to pay me back for time and expense. You know this is the cotton season and we are dragging cotton bags at 76 cents a hundred, and I pick three or four hundred of the white fleece every day except Sunday. Well, I lost all of the first three days, but I won't count in last Sunday, as I didn't pick cotton Sunday. Here are the facts: There has been some quiet agitation among the Negroes concerning the open and fragrant conduct of white men towards colored women. Ah, volcanic eruption has taken place over and anon, covering many decades. It obtruded itself even in the dark days of slavery, and many a white overseer got his brains beaten but because of that white man dare- Saturday night I learned that 'the great crowds of cotton pickers in town, shopkeepers overheard robes, some of whom were a telling what might white men if on the they acted as openly toward one or two of datto women hired by so were relatives of the s. I. looking for any kind of a man to have enacted before his eyes cus- pable liberties with his female rel- atives without arousing the least savagery in him. Well, this talk gathered strength, and noise drifted into boisterousness. Walter Jones, the oldest of the two brothers, remembered that the girl he wanted to marry was in the clutches of a white man, and at the very hour sleeping in his arms. He determined to kill every white man in Harristown, and to kill her whom he loved but could not marry. So he got his brother Will at about 2 o'clock Sunday morning, determined fully to kill every white man guilty of having a Negro mistress. These boys were not drunk; they are not the kind who drink; their father is a white business man here, and their mother a good and noble woman, and they were well up on all the principles of decency and good behavior. Drunken men never had such unerring alm as these two boys, whose dead-shot alm has created consternation among white people throughout this section of the state. These boys qualified to do some reformation work on the basis of the unwritten law, and to take the consequences for their act, asking no quarter and giving none. As I write this letter my heart is beating loud, and in feeling I can hear the bloodhounds and hear the shouts of agitated men along the country road, and if it was known that I was giving honor to the vallant deeds of these two young colored men, why my neck would wear the death collar before morning. In all it is credited to the Jones brothers of killing and wounding sixty-five people. Not more than six Negroes were shot by them, but they were the class of people that sneak around and find out things for white folks, so while they were at it they called on and killed and wounded a few of this kind. Later Sunday morning, after Walter Jones had wreaked vengeance upon the white man who stole his wife-to-be, by killing them both outright, he and his brother Will fled to a cotton mill where they barricaded themselves. When they were attacked at noon Sunday the sheriff had reached the scene of excitement, and, finding a nub clamoring for the blood of the The Chicago Defender. Yours, ANQNYMOUS. "DAN CUPID." CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1913. COLORED MAN KILLED FOR PROTECTING WHITE LADIES "Mule" Was a Hero, But We Regret That No One Knows His Name or Birthplace. Mr. R. B. Cabbell, who has spent the last ten years in the Philippine Islands in the government service, will address the Negro Fellowship League Sunday, Oct. 6, at 4 o'clock, at the reading room, 3005 State street. Mr. Cabbell is an old Chicagoan, and he has a most interesting story to tell of his ten years' sojourn in the Philippine Islands. Everybody is cordially invited to come and hear this story. Good music. Meeting begins promptly at 4 o'clock. Mr. B. W. Fitts, former president of the Bethel Literary Society, will preside. HAPPY WEDDING. Solemnized in Defender Branch Office, 17 East 33d Street. "If you must marry, and love each other, come in my apartments," said Miss Madeline Stewart, 17 East 33d street, to a parry who wished to be made as one. Miss Stewart conducts a cigar store and sells The Defender and other periodicals and has her living quarters there. On Wednesday Miss Lillian Stone of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mr. Sidney Guy of Grand Rapids "spoke the word" and Rev. A. J. Carey was sent for and performed the ceremony. Both are happy. W. B. SANSABAUGH. Greatly Improved After Auto Smashup. Mr. William B. Sansabaugh, who was rescued at Niagara Falls some weeks ago and was brought here last week to the home of his sister, Mrs. Susie Franklin, 3217 Dearborn street, is out of danger. It was omitted in the "story" of last week that Mr. William C. Lower was next to assist Mr. Stanley E. W. Taylor, the Englishman, who saved Mr. Sansabaugh in the automobile tragedy. COLORED MAN KILLE PROTECT "Mule" Was a Hero, But We Name or I When Barnum and Bailey's circus was exhibiting at Sioux Falls this week a white man was discovered pecking through a hole in the canvas of the ladies' dressing room. An employee of the circus who made the discovery took the intruder by the collar and hastened him to a region beyond the circus lot, and administered seasonable advice between kicks. The employee went by the name of "Mule," the only name he had so far as his associates and employers were concerned. He had been picked up a few weeks before, and his skin was as black as night. But "Mule" had a high sense of right and wrong, of purity, virtue and good citizenship. He had proved to be a valuable man in guarding the tent, which is the only home known to the women who travel with the show. He took it upon himself to protect them from the rough-neck bunch who try to invade the sacred precincts of the circus woman's home. "Mule" drove the Sloux Falls intruder from the lot. Late that night when the last loads "PULL TOGETHER" Is Motto of Railroad Men—Banquet Oct. 9. What is this new organization they call the Railroad Men's Benevolent and Industrial Association? It is a body of determined men that have sworn to establish an association to promote the interests of the Negro employee in the railway service, and to devise ways and means to break down the barrier that hinders and obstructs the pathway of equal chance. They will have a smoker Oct. 9 at Odd Fellows' hall. "How, what way and why we should come together for our own best interests." KERSEY BANQUETTED. Odd Fellows Sing "He's a Hearty Good Fellow." Mr. George T. Kersey, one of the most prominent Odd Fellows in this section of the country and recently elected district grand master, was tendered a 'anquet on last Saturday night at Odd Fellows' hall. Addresses were delivered by prominent Odd Fellows, Mr. Kersey making the principal speech. Refreshments were served. FATHER OF ST. CLAIR WHITE WRITES TO THE DEFENDER Mr. H. P. White, father of Miss St. Clair White, writes to The Defender and in a four page letter states, among other things, the marriage of his daughter to the Italian will be annulled on account of the young people being under age and that "both are unprepared to make a shadow of success in matrimony." Miss White, the father writes, will start her usual studies in music. SHRINERS' BALL. The Shriners held their annual sermon on last Sunday afternoon at Ebenezer Baptist Church. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. F. Thomas. Special music was rendered by the choir. The parade was headed by the Eighth Regiment band. On Monday night they gave a ball at the Seventh Regiment Armory. They danced to the sweet strains of the famous Eighth Regiment band. FLYING SQUADRON Colored Officers Making Good —Arrest Men Carrying Knives and Guns. So many holdups and robberies have been committed recently in the "black belt" that complaint was sent to the mayor of the city, who instructed the chief of police to search all idle men around saloons and corners. Last evening a "flying squadron" from the Stanton avenue station was seen carry- ing out the order to arrest all men found with knives or pistols. So many robberies have been com- mitted on the West Side that colored officers were sent out, and in one night they got six holdup men. The report has come from the chief's office that the colored officers are making good. LED FOR TING WHITE LADIES Regret That No One Knows His Birthplace. were hurried to the railroad. "Mule's" dead body was found in the brush, where he had been at work pulling the pins which had held the big tent. While there were no eye-witnesses to the tragedy, suspicion points to the big white ruthman who had peeked through the canvas. When "Mule's" body was laid to rest the grave was lined with roses, furnished by the women of the circus, who had been protected from the insults of the white scoundrels by this big black Negro. What a pity that his real name cannot be learned and a testimonial sent to his family and friends telling them that "Mule" protected virtue, and that he was every inch a man—a superior being to a white trash that had caused his death.—The Mason City Times. [Note.—This item was taken from the Billboard for August. No press news was ever given out as to this master of protection of womanhood. When the colored man does praiseworthy things why not praise him as loudly as he is denounced when he acts badly?] WINTER GARDEN. Ground Broken for Erection of New $20,000 Pavilion at Pompel Cafe. Ground was broken on Monday for the new pavilion which is being erected by McCain and Shoecraft in the rear of the Pompel cafe, and, according to arrangements made with the contractors, it will be ready for service in about three or four weeks. The dimensions are 85x55 feet, with a twelve-foot side wall of reinforced concrete, and the enclosure will have a seating capacity of about five hundred, and there will be a stage at one end upon which Manager Joe Shoecraft promises the best talent obtainable will be seen from time to time. The addition of this pavilion will undoubtedly make the Pompel the greatest enterprise of its kind in America. Tony Langston, chief of publicity, says that an important announcement can be expected soon in reference to the opening of the addition. Messrs. McCain and Shoecraft have made an enviable reputation through the novel line of entertainments they have presented, so everybody will watch with interest for any announcement they may make in the future.

The Defender reporter happened in the printing office of Major R. R. Jackson. There he met Mr. J. Tipper president of the Public Co-operative Store Company of the United States. The reporter interviewed Major Jackson on the company in the presence of Mr. Tipper. "Have you looked into the details of the new company?" asked The Defender reporter of Major Jackson. "Yes, I have taken it upon myself to look the matter over. I find they are to establish a wholesale grocery house department store in which they will carry every line of goods on the market and will given employment to many young men and women of the race. $60,000 for the Y. M. C. A. building surely they will not be backward in an enterprise which I believe will respond to their individual benefit. "I have fully investigated the method employed by the Public Co-operative Store Company, and take pleasure in stating that I found it based upon business principles, and that according to the plans as stated by Mr. Tipper, its president, I can't see anything for it but a 'howling success.'" The organization is chartered and the names of the men who formed the organization are as follows: Jake Tipper, 3606 Wabash avenue Fannie Ralston, 3742 State street Harry Dunkin, 3606 Wabash avenue Abraham L. Johnson, 3606 Wabash "Quite naturally, all this depends upon the support which they will receive from our people, both men and women. By this I mean that the company must have enough live, active, financial members who will lend their trade to the enterprise to make it a go. The company has issued $100,000 in stock divided into shares of $10 each, so any one can readily see that out of ten thousand share holders there are bound to be at least 6,000 or 7,000 customers that will support the business; and with that kind of support the business cannot fail, for there are some 75,000 colored people in the city of Chicago. If ten thousand will take stock in this company they will be able to employ many men and women of the race, with salaries varying from $5 to $20 per week. Mr. Tipper, the president, claims that 'big men' of the race can not afford to let a thing like this go by default, for, as he puts it, should our men and women take kindly to the enterprise it would succeed. Upon the whole I cannot incline myself to believe that it will fail.

All along the line of march the streets were crowded as in the circus days of old. Then came Noble Ellington's goat the goat which got the goat of all the poor novices, followed by Nobler Mort Shoecraft and L. W.

Then came the famous camel, just imported from Arabia, led by his lifelong friend and companion, Prince Ri Co Lopo, the great temple builder and great grandfather of Utt, from Memphis, Egypt, which camel was presented by the late King Menellk to Arabic Temple. Following the camel came the poor sons of the desert, led by Tom McCain, carrying a banner, "We Are the Meat," who were securely handcuffed and tied to a rope which was fastened to the camel. These novices were carefully guarded by a large number of Arabian soldiers with three edged swords drawn, assisted by Prince, the temple's famous bull terrier, who at all times does funny things to the poor sons and adds to their discomfort. with Joy Over the Launching of —Many Small Storekeepers Glad Store to Work in Harmony with Houses of Chicago—Hopes to Get Dealers. $60,000 for the Y.

Red fire was in abundance and Roman candles were exploded all along the line of march. After going over the line of march the procession arrived at the temple and the Oriental music ceased and as the novices were marched into that unknown canyon where many have gone and never returned alive, the band played that old familiar dirge, "Nearer My God to Thee," and some of the poor sons of the desert were so badly frightened that they had to be carried into the temple. Business picked up immediately and one by one the boys were taken over the burning sands and put through many other stunts until they were weary indeed. Then they were marched to the banquet room, where a feast fit only for "Allah," the god of Mohammed, awaited them.

Grace Presbyterian Church has been celebrating its 25th birthday anniversary this week. The members and friends of this church are proud of their record, of the number of conversions, influence in the community and material wealth. They, however, are not tired of progress—moral, religious and intellectual. They want a new church and efforts in this direction are meeting with great progress.

Mr. Horace Bronston is one of the best liked men of Chicago. The boys of Grace Presbyterian look upon him as their father, for the reason that he takes such great interest in the ball team of the church. Mr. Bronston is quite an athlete and was seen by The Defender reporter at the Y. M. C. A. demonstrating his ability on Tuesday night. He was showing the boys how to "skin the cat." In so doing he fell and while not seriously injured he was pretty badly shaken up. The next day he was seen with his gold headed cane, which he had not used in seven years. Mr. Bronston states that "the trapeze used now is much faster than days of yore. No more skinning cat for me." HON. LEWIS F. FINNIE IS BANQUETED. Banquet Given by Jennie E.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Vienna, Sept. 27—John Arthur Johnson is now playing at the Apollo theater in Vienna and will be there for two weeks. He is being greeted everywhere and is having the best of success. Besides giving boxing exhibitions he and Mrs. Johnson do the tango and the audience goes wild. They are called back again and again. Both the champion and his wife are doing much traveling of late. While in London his nephew Gus had a bad access but was under the care of a specialist and is now getting along fine. Mr. Johnson is in the best of health and claims that he is feeling better than he has in three years. His apparent nervousness has disappeared entirely. The champion intends to fight either Moran or Pelkey in December, maybe both, providing that the money is forthcoming, but in case that it is not he "will never den a glove again to battle." While in Paris he makes his home at the Grand Terminus Hotel and receives the host of attention. While in Germany and the surrounding countries he and Mrs. Johnson are received royally. Mr. Johnson has purchased another piece of property. This time it is at Jolville Le Pout, a港巴 of Paris. He is building a bungalow on it. It will be built on the very latest design and will have the most modern and up to date improvements. The spot is a most beautiful one overlooking the river, the lots having a river frontage. Mr. Johnson has ten weeks' engagement at $5,000 per week, which amounts to $50,000. He is reputed to be worth $2,000,000. Mr. Johnson is more popular today than ever. He is being shown the greatest courtesy and especially entertained by aristocratic in this country. All eyes are turned on him when he and his wife are out driving along the boulevards.

The revival meetings have closed but the membership continues to increase and the services grow most interesting. A large congregation was present Sunday morning and heard Dr. Carey's excellent sermon on "The Seasons of the Soul." At night the pastor preached again to a beautiful audience. His subject was "The Ministry of the Night," as illustrated by Nicodemus in John 3. The "New Birth" was dealt with in an entirely new and beautiful manner and yet so clearly and simply stated that, as many remarked, even a child could grasp it. And, after all, in this is much of the power and effectiveness of Dr. Carey's preaching. He shows plainly that he has thoroughly mastered his subject and that he estimates at true value his congregations. He knows that we are neither the theologians nor linguists. Accordingly he leaves his theological terms and his Greek and Hebrew derivations behind him in his study and brings to us the pure and simplified truth, that we may grasp it, understand it, and profit by it. Monday evening a large company of officers and members met to plan the new conference year's work. Much was accomplished and all the members are called to meet next Monday night, Oct. 6, at 8 p.m. Tomorrow night a special sermon will be preached to all new members and they are, every one, urged to be present. The kitchen-garden opened Tuesday with a good attendance. The school in millinery will open Monday and the school in dressmaking Tuesday. All of these are open to any who desire to avail themselves of the excellent advantages here referred to. ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH. Services on last Sunday were well attended, especially the evening service. At this time the pastor preached an instructive as well as soul stirring sermon. The membership is steadily increasing. Our Sunday school is increasing in efficiency as well as numbers under the leadership of our most earnest superintendent, Mr. T. A. Smith. Many friends in our immediate vicinity are visiting us each Sunday, because of the one fact—we try to show our brotherly love to all who come among us. The membership of St. Luke is indebted to Attorney Caldwell for the rapid strides of success made by the Lyceum up to this writing. He has brought to us several good speakers during the short life of the Lyceum. We earnestly hope that the people in the immediate neighborhood will make St. Luke's Lyceum their Sunday afternoon place of recreation. Good singing and speakers each Sunday. GRACE PRESBYTERIAN Last Sunday morning Mr. Hackey sang "The Penitent" as an offerty, Rally day was celebrated Sept. 23 in the Sunday school. Instead of the usual program by the primary department, addresses were delivered by Mr. Terribe and Mrs. I. B. Wells-Barnett on "Efficiency in the Sunday School." There was a large attendance. The twenty-fifth anniversary services were begun last Wednesday night with a reunion at which a splendid program was rendered, followed by a social time, during which refreshments were served. Thursday was men's night. A representative from the church extension board of the Presbytery addressed the men. The Sunday school had charge of the celebration Friday evening. Sunday morning, Oct. 5, there will be a special service. Rev. Jackson will deliver the anniversary sermon. In the afternoon at 3:30 there will also be a special program. The sermon will be preached by Rev. W. C. Covert of the First Presbyterian Church and the rally for the "Building and Improvement" fund will be conducted by Rev. E. P. Hill, D. D. All subscribers are urged to be present and ready to report. There will be special music. MT. MORIAH. Sunday, Sept. 28, was a busy day at our church. We are thankful to the members and visitors for the splendid response to our membership rally day. The day started with prayer meeting at 6. Preaching at 7:30, after which Deacon Blanton served hot fish, coffee, bread and butter to a large crowd. Ministers and members from different churches were with us and the meeting continued throughout the day. Our pastor ended the day by preaching one of his stirring sermons; subject, "I Can't Come Down, for the People Have a Mind to Work." THE YOUNG MATRONS' CULTURE CLUB. The Young Matrons' Culture Club met at Mrs. N. Bliant's, 214 East 29th street. Mrs. N. A. Boyer of Detroit, Mich. was a welcome visitor. The club will meet next with Mrs. E. Miller, 4736 Evans avenue, Oct. 9, 1913. MISS HAZEL McINTYRE Entertained at Auto Breakfast. Miss Hazel McIntyre, 3544 Dearborn street, gave an auto breakfast party last Sunday morning. Miss McIntyre secured a large touring car, called at the homes of Misses Maud Taylor, Essie Arnold, Vivian Harsh, Elizabeth Clark, Ethel Mitchell and Ethel Murphy; then toured the parks of the city, returning to the home of Miss McIntyre, where a tempting breakfast awaited them. After the service the young ladies were driven to their homes. Typewriter of Today Is Held Responsible for the Curt Notes of Cupid. With the coming of the typewriter the art of writing love letters, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, seems to have gone out of fashion, and, instead of the ornate missives our grandmothers treasure, the modern love letter reads something like this: "Dr. Emmy: Yrs. reck. It was a daisy. Wish I cd. write as you do. Am very busy, but you know—same as ever. 'Phone me tomorrow. Will try to catch 3.29 Sat. Meet me at station. If it doesn't rain, we'll have a good game. "You know what I think of you. So long. Aft. JACK." Thirty years ago, if Jack's father had been writing to Emma's mother, this same letter would have read thus: "Dearest Emmeline: Your dear letter this moment reached me, and the beauty of its expression afflicts me with a sense of my incompetency to reply in kind. But you know that my heart beats for you alone." "Although my time is not my own, I feel that I must snatch a few sweet moments in which to assure you that in this letter I repeat all I ever said or wrote to you, and that I love you better than my life. "If you could write to me every day in the same strain my work would fairly fly under my accelerated efforts. Such is the influence of your inspiring devotion. "On Saturday I will be in the train which reaches S—— at half after 3. If your dear face were there to welcome me, you know how happy I should be. Whatever plans you may make for our brief holiday I will gladly carry out. My own love, how can I tell you what you are to me? "I am yours devotedly and faithfully. JOHN W. WATSON." Seagoing Movies. The movies are to form an important part of the equipment of every first-class transatlantic liner before long if current reports are true. Having abolished motion on shipboard, by triumphs of modern shipbuilding, the great transporters of the Atlantic may find that in this very immobility there is something lacking, and that something the moving picture. It is hard to see where the men who plan marine comfort and delight could find anything better suited to evening entertainment for passengers who have exhausted the possibilities of the moonlight and the concert and dance than the cinematograph. There is no denying that, whether everybody ought to be musical in taste or not, a very respectable portion of humanity takes enjoyment in film pictures than in solos or concert selections. It is equally indisputable that a goodly number of ocean travelers are of an age where the magic of the moon on the waters is sometimes a bit of a bore, if the fact were known, and where the modern dances do not by any means excite the feet or even the more impressionable head. Leaky Radiator Stops Car. Leaky Radiator Stops Car. It may not seem possible that a leak in the radiator will kill a motor and prevent further movement of the car for more than an hour, but such was the case of one of the Indiana-Pacific tourists. The trouble, of course, was not due primarily to the radiator leak, but the magneto being directly behind the point of leakage, it was affected and refused to give up any current. The water coming from the puncture in the radiator was blown back on to the magneto, due to the force of the wind, with the result that the breaker points were short-circuited continually by the water. The driver examined every part of the motor and never dreamed of looking at the magneto, for the instrument never gave any trouble, and being of a good make was not expected to die. A glance at the radiator leak and another at the magneto near by concluded the search for the faulty part. The leak was repaired and the magneto cleaned and dried, and the car continued on its journey to the coast. One Good Thing to Get The stockbroker was busy and nervous. His caller was insistent and garrulous. He explained his ability to get for the broker important and confidential information. "There's nothing you can do for me," said the broker, decisively. "Nothing?" asked the caller. "Absolutely nothing." "Well, I think I could get you some stuff that would be exceedingly useful to you." "There is one thing," said the broker, after a moment's thought, "which you can get me, and it will be of great use to me." The visitor brightened up. "That's fine! What can I get for you?" "Out," said the brouer.—Popular Magazine. Sees Good in Woman Suffrage. Professor Abe of Waseda goes into a lengthy review of the experience of the countries and part of America which have given the vote to women. On the whole, these results have been beneficial. Instead of using the privilege for the assertion of their personal rights, the women have utilized it for the cause of prohibition and for the improvement of the conditions of child life. Japanese politicians are inconsistent in that they hesitate to extend to women and laborers the political rights which they strive to wrench from the "burcaerraft clan."—Bulletin of Japan Society of New York. For Suppresion of Bandstands France runs England pretty close in the matter of leagues and associations. The latest French institution of the kind is the "League for the Suppression of Bandstands," which has just been established. The leaguers are up in arms against the ugliness of the bandstands in France, but in view of the love of the French local authorities for these edifices, they have their work out out for them. —London Globe. THE CHICAGO DEJENDER News Notes of the Nation's Capital By R. W. THOMPSON Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—Dr. George W. Buckner of Evansville, Ind, the newly appointed minister to Liberia, is in the city, familiarizing himself with the duties of the position to which he has been assigned by the United States government. He has spent much of his time at the state department conferring with Secretary Bryan and receiving his instructions. He was appointed several weeks ago by President Wilson, and was confirmed by the senate September 10, without any contest. He was recommended by Senators Kern and Shively and Congressman Lieb of Indiana. He took the oath at his home in Evansville immediately upon the receipt of a telegram announcing his confirmation. Before coming to Washington Dr. Buckner went to Tuskegee Institute to discuss conditions in Liberia with Dr. Booker T. Washington and Secretary Emmett J. Scott, and learned much that was interesting and advantageous to him in his new work. Mr. Scott was particularly well informed as to the affairs of the Black Republic, as he had served as a member of the Liberian commission sent by President Taft across the sea some years ago to inquire into the inside facts and to report on the possibilities and prospects of that unique country. This week Dr. Buckner had an interview with Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, who was minister to Liberia under the Taft regime and who is now the vice consul representing Liberia in this country. Dr. Buckner will be introduced to the president as soon as his sponsors can arrange an engagement. The new minister has been visited by many citizens of Washington at his stopping place, 1331 U street, Northwest, and upon all he has made a decidedly favorable impression. He is simple in manner, plain of speech, and wins friends in stantly by his sincerity and straightforwardness. He is in the prime of life and, being a physician, there is no doubt that he will be able to withstand the peculiar climatic conditions he will find at Monrovia. The Bethel Literary and Historical Association opens its thirty-third year next Tuesday evening. The speaker will be Charles W. Chesnutt, author of "The Wife of His Youth." "The Marrow of Tradition," and "The House Behind the Cedars." His theme on this occasion will be "The Negro in Latin America." The Amphibian Glee Club, directed by Prof. J. Henry Lewis, will render musical selections. Mr. S. M. Dudley begins his second year as president under auspicious circumstances. The coming season promises to be one of the most brilliant Bethel Literary has enjoyed in its long and profitable career. On the 14th Mr. Archibald H. Grimke will address the society on "Negro Ideals and Ambitions." Other notable attractions will follow in rapid order. November 25 has been set apart as "Business League Night" and the local business league will present a program of an intensely practical nature. Howard University, Wilberforce, Tuskegee Institute and Hampton are each booked for a special night. S. H. Dudley, the popular comedian and manager, is inspecting the theaters in his circuit in the middle West. The Brown Sisters have gone to Norfolk this week. More than fifty colored men took the civil service examinations for clerical positions last week, and another large class will try for promotions this week. This indicates that some folks believe that the merit system is to be a permanent factor in the federal service. It is reported that Manager A. J. Thomas will decline to accept a testimonial at the hands of an element that bitterly opposed his enterprise when he took hold of it two years ago. The plan suggested in a local sheet last week is so visionary that no one can understand what the self-constituted proposer is driving at. Manager Thomas is all right, and his friends want to honor him; but they will not follow improper and insincere leadership to do so. It is hoped that the astute Mr. Thomas will not "fall" for the "frame-up" that self-seeking schemers are trying to "put over" on him. Mr. J. D. Cooke, editor of the Milwaukee Weekly Defender, passed through the city last week, en route eastward to attend a convention. George W. Harris' new paper, the New York News, made its appearance here last week. It is a sprightly journal and already claims a circulation of 10,000. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Temple, preached the anniversary sermon for the True Reformers at the session of the Grand Fountain last Wednesday in Richmond, Va. His text was "Gratitude and Courage," and he gave some encouraging statistics showing the progress of the Negro race in its fifty years of freedom. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, the race's greatest coloratura soprano, is coming November 7. THOUGHTS OF WISDOM. (By W. W. Tally.) When your are satisfied with your success you've retrograded. No man at rest can do his best. Tomorrow the world will adopt higher standards. New ideas will upset old ideas. Intention will ripen into invention. Machinery will be improved—systems simplified—wastes eliminated. Men who have carried their problems to bed while you are resting upon your laurels will see a better way of doing what you have done; and some fine day you will awake with failure for a pillowmate. You believe that you have achieved your utmost, but within a week a hundred strangers, whose names you have never heard, will begin to underline your security. You must constantly review your situation and steadily renew your knowledge. The methods responsible for your rise will in time prove fatal stumbling blocks. It's the man behind you who determines how far and how fast you must travel. He measures your destiny—he sets your standard. The earth isn't the same two days running. The modern gait is hard and stern and swift and unrelenting. So long as journalism scours highways and byways for information—so long as the press is a diary of universal activity—so long as news is gathered, interpreted, and spread throughout civilization, alert brains will glean suggestions to be applied to personal tasks and to further individual ambitions. Get up or get out. The future has no memory and no mercy. CLUBS AND SOCIETIES. The Saturday Afternoon Whist Club. The Saturday Afternoon Whist Club met Sept. 27 at the beautiful home of Mrs. M.

Johnson held the Gunthers well in hand until the seventh inning when three hits and a couple of errors brought in four men. The game was called at the end of the eighth in account of dark- ness. The same two teams play to- morrow at the American Giants' Park.

After touring the West all summer the Union Giants have arrived back in town and will give the fans a glimpse of themselves when they play the Tigers on the West side. The Tigers are the winners of the Swetzer cup, the cup that caused so much rivalry on the West side. The Tigers will have Aldous and Pierre in the points while the Giants will use Coleman and Alexander. We regret to say that in our effort to keep up with our youths that we overlook some occasionally. It is not wholly our fault, for we do not know these people. If some of our kind readers would keep us in touch with them, we would be thankful. During the past season we find that Fred Polhard went to Brown University and there was a member of the track team. He is well thought of and was a consistent point winner. The Carlisle team came through their game with the W. Va. Wesleyan with flying colors. The red men had no trouble in winning 25 to 0. Coach Warner is whipping his men into shape for the remainder of the season is a hard grind. Leslie Pollard, former star back at North Division, has gone to Lincoln College in Pennsylvania, where he will assume the duties of head coach. Farrell Jones, the fast quarter of the Lake high team, has been shifted to end. Jones is a natural born chaser of the pigskin and has the makings of one that will be heard from with honors in the intercollegiate games in a few years. The Lincolns will journey to Steger tomorrow. They will leave over the interurban road at 63rd and the L at 12:30. Those wishing to go later can get a car at 1:10. The following is their schedule: Oct. 12 at Forest Park—Garfield Park L to Desplaines avenue. This game will be referred by Mr. Penn Carolan, captain of last year's championship Oak Park high eleven. Oct. 19, Morris Park—On North- western R. R. Train leaves at 2:05. In Boston at the English High, John Shelburne is practically the whole football team. He is the most relied upon man on the team. As a ground gainer he is without equal and he has also distinguished himself as a track man. ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKES SLAP AT THE COLOR LINE. Attorney General of New York Says That Boxing Commission Must Not Discriminate—Must Let All Compete and Bar None. By Young. The attorney general of the state of New York took a direct slap at the boxing commission of that state when he made a ruling that the commission had no right whatsoever to stop the bout between Sam Langford, the idol of the Bay state, and Smith. Nor that they can prohibit the bouts between colored and white fighters. Popular sentiment was against the ruling of the commission even when they first made the ruling, and when they again voted to let it stand there was a storm of protest both from the white and the colored press, especially the Amsterdam News. The bill prohibiting the mixed bouts as they termed them was originally intended to stop Jack Johnson from fighting any heavyweights in New York. But since the gent has taken up his abode on the banks of the Seine in France, why the whole state was surprised when the commission still tried to "Jim Crow" the rest of the fighters of the race. Since Mr. Carmody's decision has become known there has been a general rebelonging among the fight fans here, it being the most welcome bit of news since the Frawley bill was passed two years ago. In the first place the ruling should never have been made, for just what wrong the commission could see in allowing Langford, Jeannette and others of the race to box we are at sea to know. Had the backers of these men taken the matter to court it would have been straightened out at once. The Frawley bill legalizing boxing says nothing about race discrimination and in prohibiting all "mixed" bouts the commissioners overstepped their authority. DETERMINATION.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 3. -Dr. A. H. Booker of Des Moines, Iowa, visited the city last week and was quietly married to a Des Moines belle, and returned to his home after a few brief calls. Editor J. Q. Adams is sparing no pains to make the Emancipation celebration a success. Sergeant J. W. Harper, presiding. Mr. Grover Stewart of Salt Lake City, Utah, arrived in the city and contemplates a brief trip to Chicago. Mr. "Curly" Campbell, St. Paul, Minn., has reopened his spacious cafe, known now as "The Beach Cafe and Chop Suey Parlors," and says "Hit the ball." Mr. Samuel W. Wright, erstwhile business manager of the International Railway Men's Magazine of St. Paul, is again sojourning among his friends after a visit to the old home and haunts in Iowa. Mr. Henry Lee is the genial head waiter in the Manderin Cafe, St. Paul, Minn., and his crew of colored waiters knows Chinese dishes as well as Oriental service. Attorney Wm. R. Morris was recently elected president of "The Minneapolis Sunday Forum," and has appointed his committee, with Miss Eva Walker as chairman of the Social Service Committee and Mr. Wm. Smith as chairman of the Public Affairs Committee, with Dr. R. S. Brown, Attorney B. S. Smith, T. C. Peoples, R. C. Marshall, Wm. C. Jefferies and E. Hammond, will prove competent. At the Stag Club dining parlors Thursday, 246 4th avenue So., the most unique "Chauteckler" party in the history of the "Flour City" among the Sonegambian citizens was chaperoned by Mrs. J. B. Elliott. Feasters and embibers were Mesdames Washington, Burrell, Speed, Jacobs, Welboun and Miss Fannie Johnson. Nests were laid for seven, and between the chicks, cacklers and wing flappings Messrs. Holbert, Welboun, McClure and Harvey formed a flying wedge, and entered this resolute roost, and minus the feed, their wings were clipped $3.00 worth without counting the bubbles, and either of these society gladiators is so slick he can climb three flights of stairs with an annual of live eels and not lose one. Very slick boy? "But that shot got them" and they can't crow about it. Mr. Mack Brady, ex-policeman, will return this week from a visit to LaCrosse, Wis. Dr. J. H. Redd returned from his up country visit and reports a renewal of friends. Mr. Chas. Smith died Wednesday after a long, lingering illness, and was interred here. Undertaker O. L. Lawrence conducted the funeral. Miss Eliza Freeman, the only survivor of three sisters brought here from Kentucky with ten other colored families by Dr. C. G. Goodrich fifty years ago, died after an operation at the Northwestern Hospital Thursday last, and was interred at Lakewood. Services were conducted by Rev. W. T. Lewis and Undertaker Davles. President Cal G. Goodrich of Twin City Rapid Transit Co., with his family, attended the funeral and the apparent grief shown was as their nearest relative. Miss Freeman for fifty years was with this family and the loss is more than a servile. Many other friends and acquaintances out of profound respect attended. Student Gale Hillyer of the M. U. called a meeting Monday night at Dr. Redd's office to formulate and organize a local branch of N. A. A. C. P. (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). Mr. Daniel W. Shaw and Marie Scott were quietly married in St. Paul, Minn., last Thursday, and are at home to their many friends at 428 Washington Ave. No., Minneapolis. Schools have opened with an increased attendance of Afro-American youths. Keep up the good work. THE ENGLEWOOD LYCEUM. The Englewood Lyceum rendered its special monthly program last Sunday and the audience was well pleased. Mr. Wadsworth Holmes and Mr. Deaver Jefferson sang "Lost Chord" in a duet and were roundly applauded. Mr. Cornellus W. Price thrilled the audience with his sweet tenor voice in "Oh, Dry Those Tears." "Short Trips in America" was an address sparkling with information and of intense interest. Mr. J. M. Brumfield is an artist at word painting. One feels as if he was looking at the actual scenes from his exquisite portrayal of the various places he has visited. The principal speaker of the day was Mr. J. B.

On last Wednesday evening, September 20th, the first Autumn as well as one of the prettiest weddings of the season was that of Miss Murty Collins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert I. Collins of 6323 Champlain avenue to Mr. Karle Collins. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Martin of Bethesda Church at seven thirty at the home of the bride's parents. The attendants were Mrs. Lulu Bell Winburne of Detroit, Michigan, and Miss Lenon Dougherty and Mr. Benjamin Martin was best man. The flower girls were Corine and Codella White. The ring bearer was James Bryant, Jr., and the ribbon bearers were Morgia Ware and Adelae Collins. There was a large number of useful as well as beautiful presents. The ushers were William Kelly and Wm. Hughes. Master of Ceremonies Julius N. Avendorph assisted by Frank B. Waring. The bride and groom left on the 12:05 train for Detroit, Mich., where they will spend ten days as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Winburne. NOT A FICTION OF HISTORY Investigations Seem to Prove That Barbara Frietchie Was a Real Personage. All believers in Barbara Friedchle will greet with gratitude the evidence that there really was such a person, set forth by Mrs. Clara V. Mott. And the most striking thing in reading the poem, in knowing that more than a thousand people have gone from all over the country to Mrs. Friedchle's home, out of devotion to her memory, is that all this sustained sentiment came from the fact that a woman waved her flag to what she supposed were Union troops, and continued to wave it when she discovered they were not. But it is a relief to know positively that she waved her flag at any one, for a belief of fifty years is hard to shake. And wave it Barbara did, says Mrs. Mott, who reports the details in the Baltimore American. A soldier in Washington, who was in the Third brigade, saw it done. Moreover, Mrs. Abbott of Frederick, heard the story from her mother, Barbara's niece, to whom Mrs. Fretchie told the tale as soon as it had happened. Even those who question the pretty incident cannot doubt that Barbara Frietchie at least lived—if they do doubt, let them go to Frederick, and see what Mrs. Abbott has. She has the blue china coffee pot which was ased for General Washington's refreshment when he passed through Frederick in 1791; the long chamois gloves which Barbara Frietchie wore when she pruned her roses; the silk mitts which she knitted for herself; a nutcracker in a leather case; her teacups; a little 'glass smelling-bottle, with which it is said, she used to keep herself wakeful in long sermons, and many other things. There is a Barbara Frietchie association now, founded over a year ago. Its members are both men and women, and they live all over the United States. It was due to this society that the body of Mrs. Frietchie was reinterred last Memorial day, in Frederick. Youth Without Romance The romance of youth is being stifled by the large cities, asserts a New York minister. We are shaking our heads disapprovingly at the steady increase of divorce, he says, but we forget that divorce is the natural outcome of loveless marriage. And the loveless marriage is on the increase because the city makes "true mating" impossible. The youth of the cities are forced into an "unsocial situation," he says. They are being deprived of all romance, which is their natural heritage. The home, the minister continues, rests upon heart companionship. There can be no proper home life where there has not been proper mating. But the cities make the proper mating of the young more and more impossible. The street corner, the nickel theater or dance hall is the only meeting place afforded to a large army of the young men and young women from the tenements. Such street corner acquaintance does not lend itself to thorough knowledge of each other's natures. The marriage resulting from such street-corner or dance-hall wooing and courting is frequently heading for the divorce court from the start. From Sail to Steam A Boston shipping company, once devoted to many-masted schooners, is now building on the Delaware its sixth cargo steamer for the coal and general coastwise trade. Two more steamers of the same type have lately been ordered from the Fore river yard by an old and famous firm of sailship owners. Steadily the coastwise carrier is changing over to conform with the machinery-driven ships that do business on the great trade routes of the world. The disappearance of tall spars and wind-filled canvas from our Atlantic waters is regrettable on many accounts, but it is as inevitable as the flight of time itself. For many years the large first cost of a steel steamship was a barrier to investment, but the increasing price of suitable timber for sail vessels and their relatively short life have given steam an ever-growing advantage. Moreover, modern commerce calls above all things for regularity in delivery, and it is the steam-driven ship that must be depended on for such punctual, systematic service. Analyzing a Volcano Members of the staff of the geophysical laboratory of the Carnegie institution are studying the physics and chemistry of active volcanoes at the crater of Kilauea in Hawaii. During the summer of 1912 these investigators descended into the crater and collected gases directly from the lava. These they sealed in glass tubes without letting the gases come in contact with the air at all. They sent the tubes to Washington. Besides taking samples of liquid lava directly from the molten lake the investigators studied the composition of the non-gasous matter in the cloud of smoke above the volcano. Since some authorities have believed that there is no water in the material emitted by volcanoes it is interesting to notice that the geophysical laboratory workers condensed no less than half a pint of water by cooling one of the gases that they had taken directly from the boiling lava.—Youth's Companion. "Old Ironsides" Not to Leave Old Ironsides Not to Leave. The old frigate Constitution, "Old Ironsides," will be moved from its present location at the Charlestown navy yard, but it is not to leave Boston. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt gave assurance to this fact. The historic vessel is at the upper end of the navy yard, near the main gate. Its new berth will be at the other end of the yard, at the entrance of the little stream known as "Little Mystic." This is the place made vacant by the removal of the old training ship Wabash some months ago. The transfer will be made after Commandant DeWitt Coffman of the navy yard can have the new berth dredged, to permit the old Constitution to enter without injury to its bottom. THE CHICAGO DEFENDERS By FRANCES SMITH. Apropos of the leading incident here in related, I will say that I was never other than a theoretical sportsman. The only excitement I ever had, except getting enough to eat, was a love affair in my early twenties. The object of my affections was a little brunette with more money than sentiment, and more brains than either. I had two rivals; Mr. Bonny, minister, whose physique, finances and prospects were light; Mr. Meels, grocer, whose physique, prospects and finances heavy. When my ardor had reached the speaking point, I said: "Madge, will you marry?" "Yes," said Madge. "My darling," I murmured, "how I love you." "Well," she murmured back, "what of it?" "Why, we are going to be one, aren't we?" "It appears to me that you are already won," she smiled. "Who is the other one?" "Yes, me—I mean you!" "Oh;" At last she understood. "Where are we all three going to live? You know, Bonny—" A horrible fear smote me. "Great heavens!" I cried, "is he going to marry you, too?" "That's what he said," averred Madge. "He never shall!" I swore. "I'll kill him like I would a—a buffalo." I think Madge laughs too much sometimes. "The idea of you k-l-l-l-n-g a bu-f-f-a-l-o-! I'll tell you what I d-do. I'll marry the first one of you that d-does k-kill a bufhehehalo!" I would rather Madge had accepted me in a more conventional manner, but suppressing all selfish consideration, I cried: "Done!" and was off to challenge Bonny. He accepted readily. A week later found us camped in the then sparsely buffalo-settled region of Colorado. The first day we spent trying to get suggestions relative to buffalo hunting. These suggestions were discussed over our coffee that evening. "Cowboys (all men west of the Mississippi were cowboys to him) are cowards," said Bonny. "I asked one of them 'If you were I where would you go to hunt buffaloes?' 'Where I would be least likely to find them,' he replied. 'My good man,' said I, kindly tell me how you do bring down a buffalo.' He took another chew of tobacco and squinting one, eye, replied: 'I shoot them in their tracks. That is the best place for you to shoot a buffalo, young man, right in its tracks, and the older the tracks are, the better.'" My own information had been more practical. I had been told to lasso my buffalo and tie it to the nearest tree, where I could shoot it without danger, "at least to the buffalo," my informant added absent mindedly. Unfortunately, I forgot my lasso the next morning and had to depend entirely upon my gun. While we lunched Bonny was apparently seized with an attack of delirium tremens. "Buffalo, buffalo!" he shrieked, and danced about. "A cluster of them?" I asked. "Only a solitaire," he shouted, "but it's mine," and mounting his horse he backed rapidly away, presumably to keep the buffalo in sight while he circled it. Rival as he was, I had to admit that it was the tactic of a brave man. As for me, I bodily started toward the buffalo. I had gone but a short distance when I came to an old dugout which had partly filled, leaving enough ingress for a man nearly half my size to crawl through. The animal, scenting danger, approached me. Fearing lest I frighten it away, I got as far as I could into the dugout. The buffalo came on, its head lowered, its tail furiously lashing at the flies-on, until it was within twenty feet of me! I slipped the rest of the way into the dugout, and though my heart beat like a sledge hammer, I coolly put my gun to my shoulder, braced myself firmly against the farthest wall, and with bated breath watched the majestic creature move slowly by and out of range of my gun. I panted to pursue, but found that it would require an hour's work with my knife to enlarge the egress sufficiently for me to get out. When I did get out, the buffalo had escaped, and in the distance I beheld Bonny spurring his horse to full speed. I was disgusted with Bonny. Why should he sit calmly on his horse within a mile of the buffalo, let it escape him, and then exhibit such trepidation because it had done so? On the return I found a couple of men skinning buffaloes. I bought a hide, went on and was first to reach camp. Pretty soon Bonny arrived. "What do you think of this?" and he unrolled a fresh hide. "I think you are about as smart as I am," I evasively answered. "Where did you shoot your buffalo?" "Right in its tracks!" said Bonny. While we glared at each other a "collect" telegram was brought us. It read: "Don't slay buffalo. I have married Madge.-R. Mecls." Studies of the Vernacular. "Hello! Thatchoo Kit?" "Sure. Sill, ain't it?" "Betcherlife! Whenja gitback?" "Smoring; whenjoo?" "Lilwilago. Javagoodtime?" "Uh-huh." "Wherja gokit?" "Sconsun. Werjoo?" "Mishgun; jevver go?" "Javanyfun?" "Uh-huh. Lots.

Enjoyment Not Given to All, and Hard to Cultivate—Health, Strength, Courage and Fortitude In the Sport. There are in this world two sorts of men, those who fish and those who don't. The don't are divided into those who would if they could, but can't, and those who could if they would, but won't. The won't are still further divided into those who are quite contented that they don't want to, and those who are dissatisfied with themselves because they lack the taste. When we get as far as this we reach the man who could if he would but won't, and would if he could but can't. Talk to him about it, and he will tell you something like this: "Yes; I know that it is a great thing to go fishing. There is my partner. He is a fisherman, says it's fun, and by the way he sticks to it and leaves me here to take care of things, I guess likely it is fun—for him. But as for me, I can't fish. I've tried it, faithfully; have sat in a boat half a day at a time; have tramped miles of stream; have gone through the motions and caught fish, too, but that is not fishing; it does not give me the enjoyment it does others. I am not a fisherman, when I see how others like it, how much good it seems to do them, and how it brightens up the world for them; I often wish I did like fishing. But I don't, and never shall." That is what the woulds say. Just such cases have come under the notice of almost every fisherman. For there is this about field sports, that while most people are quite ready to recognize what they do for those who follow them, the taste for their true enjoyment is born in one, and is with difficulty acquired in mature years. It may lie long latent, and one may take to fishing or to shooting late in life, but he must have had in him, though dormant and unsuspected, the capacity of enjoyment with the rod or the gun. Not infrequently people take up in late life the fishing rod which has been idle for years, or go shooting once more after a decade of forgetfulness of the field. They renew the sports of their early days, and with them awaken again the youthful spirit, and restore health and strength and courage and fortitude. To be possessed of such tastes is a blessing often too lightly esteemed. The father who endows his son in the care-free days of boyhood with a liking for these sports of the field is equiping him for life with resources of healthful enjoyment. —Forest and Stream. Silence and Reading. A notice enjoining "Silence" is set up in the Free Library reading room, where I found Mr. Yoshiro Markino's delightful essay in the "Nineteenth Century" on memory and imagination. He tells us of the Japanese method of reading aloud. "The Japanese scholars always like to read books loudly, because they always want to enjoy their ears as well as their eyes." And it seems that the Japanese method of reading books and remembering them is to shout them as they read. And "there are many Japanese scholars who prefer reading the English books loudly, too." Our western etiquette enjoins silence in the reading room. The man with the book or the paper in his chair must take his stimulus or his soporific mutely. The clubman who starts and abuses his chance paper is unpopular. Our western habit of silent reading suits us. If everybody read aloud in the train or tram or on the seashore—if every bank clerk shrieked his figures as they were added in the bank books—we should probably get confused—London Chronicle. Loss by Disease. "From sickness alone our mere money loss each year is $750,000,000. Conservative American authorities declare that at least one-fourth of this annual loss, approximately, $200,000,000, can be prevented," said Dr. John B. Andrews of New York, secretary of the American Association for Labor Legislation, before the American Public Health association. "Recently," he continued, "there has been a remarkable development of interest in occupational diseases, of which 'phossy jaw,' lead colle, miners' asthma, hatters' shakes, potters' rot, boiler makers' deafness, and the brass workers' chills are merely suggestive. "The prevention of occupational disease is too great an undertaking to be left entirely to individual action." Largest Novel. The largest novel in the world has just been finished by a Japanese writer, Kiong Te Bakin. It was commenced in 1852, and the author found a publisher willing to publish the novel in volumes as the writer finished them, the last volume being turned over to the publisher this year. There are no fewer than 106 volumes all told, each one containing 1,000 pages, and each page has about thirty lines each containing an average of ten words, so that the work consists of 106 volumes, 106,000 pages, 3,180,000 lines, and 38,100,000 words, and it weighs about 130 pounds. So far it has not been suggested that this work should be translated and published in England. It would just be the thing for the library of a convict prison, so that when a man was sentenced to "ten years' hard" he could calmly start at volume one and plod on without interruption till "Finis" was reached. Only some of the poor fellows might be asking for five years more if they were "let off" reading the book. Kind of Currency Needed.

[Special to the Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., Oct. 3. The gallant Tenth Cavalry, United States Army, is to be here in a few days, as a part of the troops of the regular army to be reviewed by President Wilson. At a meeting of a number of prominent colored citizens it was decided that it would be fitting to tender this splendid organization a public reception. An interview with Secretary of War Garrison resulted in an assurance by that genial gentleman that the War Department and the administration generally would o-operate cheerfully with any plan on the way from the maneuver mp at Winchester, Vn., to their station at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont. Their conduct and achievements in several contests at Winchester we been highly commended by unseized witnesses of both races. The ummitee which waited on the ollis of the War Department in the west of this movement was made of Ferdinand D. Lee, chairman; C. W. Childs, Dr. J. C. Norwood; P. W. Price, W. B. Kenney, Jos. Montgomery and Dr. G. W. Caha. a meeting Tuesday evening at Y. M. C. A., called by this committee, a general committee of citizens was selected to carry out the details of the work. The reception will be held on the evening following the parade day, early in October, and Convention Hall has been engaged for the occasion. Concert music will be furnished by the Tenth Cavalry Band, and a local orchestra will play for the terpsichorean part of the program. There will be addresses of welcome and felicitations by well known citizens, and it is expected that an address will be delivered by Secretary of State W. J. Bryan, representing the President, and by Secretary L. M. Garrison, speaking for the War Department. The Tenth Cavalry will be escorted to the hall by the First Separate Battalion, District National Guard, Major J. B. Walker commanding. A banquet and promenade will follow the literary exercises. Accommodations are being arranged for 5,000 persons. Besides the large attendance of Washingtonians expected, delegations will come from Baltimore, Alexandria, and other nearby points. No stone is being left unturned to make the affair worthy of the brave men in whose honor it is given. HYDE PARK NOTES The Hyde Park Neighborhood Settlement is a social center in fact and in name only. The colored chili product, ankyling, up to the fact this is a place for their pleasure and benefit, and is a second home for them. Books from the best authors fill the library. A fine piano not only affords a pleasant hour, but anyone may take lessons. And, best of all, a staff of the best professional dressmakers is now enlisted to teach women and girls who are anxious to learn the art of dressmaking, and they may join the classes that meet every Tuesday and Thursday evenings. A third class must open soon. Embroidery and crochet will be taught every Wednesday evening. Amusements for the wintry evenings are being planned, and one especially for the young folks on Hallowe'en. Negro women ought not to overcrowd one field, but must learn to spread in all directions. The dressmaking field offers good opportunities for any who know the work. The colored people should feel justly proud of this work, as it means so much more to the race than the published outrages said to have been committed by Negroes. There ought to be headliners in all the leading papers if the good the Negroes are doing in Hyde Park. As crime has ceased, something ought to be said. Hyde Park Settlement is upbuilding the community, and its good influence is visibly noticed. The board meets the first Tuesday in the month. We beg to thank Mrs. Celia Parker coley for dishes received in July; as Lillian Chapman for services dered in summer sewing class; i. H. B.

Chinn, 714 Broadway, left a week ago Sunday for San Diego, Cal., with Mrs. W. F. Adams of Wauwatosa, as nurse. Their stay will be indefinite. Mr. G. H. Jones, 560 Edison avenue, left on a business trip to Fond du Lac, to be gone several months. Mrs. Sarah Late has been appointed as delegate by Governor McGovern to the celebration of the emancipation proclamation to be held October 6 to 13 in Exposition Hall in Atlantic City, N. J. Mrs. L. C. Valll has returned from a very pleasant trip in Chicago and Aurora. While in the latter city she was the guest of Mrs. Gustav Hall and Mrs. Bernard Jones. At the banquet given at St. Joseph's Sanitarium for working girls and the aged, where he was special guest, Captain Valll was the main speaker. The Colored Catholic Movement started in Aurora two years ago by Captain L. C. Valli that materialized into an organization of colored Catholics. Wednesday, September 17, in the chapel of St. Joseph's Hospital, under the direction of Very Rev. J. J. Bennett, Rev. Wm. Weber and others spoke favorably of the movement. There are but few colored Catholics in that city and they are composed of some of the best, most conscientious and christian citizens.

The West Side Protective Association bids fair to become undoubtedly the greatest movement, from a race point of view, of any ever launched by the citizens of West Chicago. Already it has put into action its pledged intent to fight discrimination and injustice with all the force, determination and fearlessness, characteristic of the more progressive members of the race. The association held its second regular meeting Friday, Sept. 26, at the Wendell Phillips Settlement. One of the most important cases laid before the association and upon which there was considerable debate at the meeting was the complaint forwarded by Mrs. Ida D. Lewis, president of the Illinois Confederation of Colored Women, on behalf of Mrs. Jennie Ragland, who had just purchased a flat building at 4301 North Albany avenue. Mrs. Ragland's troubles were started when she deigned to move into one of the "self-styled white communities," which could not "figure out" how it could even tolerate a Negro family in the community. The more virulent of the Rogers Park Settlement proceeded forthwith to call a mass meeting. So bent were they on giving vent to their prejudices that they could not wait one minute, but called the meeting on Sunday, drafted resolutions of condemnation, appointed and dispatched a committee to investigate the alleged purchase of property by Negroes, and to utter threats not only against the purchaser, but also against the seller of the property on Albany avenue Such threats as, "kill the niggers," "burn 'om down and use the southern method," were the preening ones. Attorney Hill, after explaining that the matter was one exclusively within the jurisdiction of the police department, made a motion that a special committee be appointed to wait upon the mayor of Chicago and the chief of police, demanding proper and adequate police protection for Mrs. Rogland and her property. Among the speakers on important subjects were: Dr. Holloway, Mrs. Rogland, Atty Hill, Mr. Gaskill, Mr. Amos, Miss Haynes and others. MARYLAND OR OKLAHOMA, WHICH? Both Seem to be Sparring to Annihilate the Race from the Face of the Earth and the Home of (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—A bitter fight against alleged race discrimination in various sections of the country is to be made shortly on behalf of Negroes before the Supreme Court. The Oklahoma and the Maryland "grandfather" constitutional amendments by which thousands of Negroes have disfranchised will be attacked as unconstitutional. An effort will be made to have the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" legislation annulled. An attempt will be made by Tennessee organizations to be permitted to use the name of "Knights of Pythias" for colored lodges as well as white lodges. The eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has asked the Supreme Court to pass upon the validity of the Oklahoma "grandfather clause." In Maryland damages have been recovered against two election officials who used to allow Negroes to vote. MRS. ETTA CALLAWAY DIES. Funeral Sunday — Daughter from Paris Coming. Miss Alice Callaway, 3300 Rhodes avenue, arrived in the city this week from New York to attend the funeral of her mother, which will be held at the home. Mrs. Etta Callaway died last Sunday; she was found dead in her room. The funeral will be held Sunday at 1 o'clock and the Rev. Lawrence of Congregational church will officiate. The body will be laid in a vault to await the arrival of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Sumner Bryon, who is a prima donna in Paris, France. She is the mother of 10 children and four grandchildren.

Anderson of 6129 Carpenter street has a horse she dearly loves. In fact he is her pet. He is as docile as a lamb. She usually feeds him with candy and on Tuesday she repeated her usual treat. Fatting him on the nose with one hand and feeding him with another, the horse bit her hand. She yelled at the top of her voice "Police! Fire! Fire!" An alarm was turned in and the fire patrol responded and the policeman was heard to say, "That loylie had a horse on her." When seen by The Defender reporter last evening she was out of danger. NO RELATIONSHIP. Lee Claims Dismissed by Judge Gregg. The court has held, according to Judge Gregg of the probate court, that Mrs. Lucinda Anderson had not sufficient showing of relationship to William Henry Lee, the wealthy publisher, to secure her claim to the money left by the late Mr. Lee, who died several weeks ago. D. E. Clithero, an attorney and friend of Mr. Lee, the publisher had admitted having Negro blood in his veins. It is the opinion of some of the best, thinking and most upright lawyers that this estate will be dislated unless it is fought out in the higher courts. From all the evidence in the case, Mrs. Anderson was the wife of Mr. Lee, and he left her because by passing as white he could make both name and fame. ALONG THE NORTH SHORE LAKE FOREST --- The Progressive Literary hold its annual installation at the First Baptist Church last Friday evening. Mr. Charles Gray, who has for so long acted as president and kept the Literary in action, installed the officers. As he presented the gavel to Mr. Verdan he warns him to be prepared, for the time is coming when you must play your part in life or you must fail. If you succeed you will be permitted to retire amid the loving and enthusiastic people; if you fall then you must retire amid the jeers and hisses of a disgusted people. When you shall have ended your career as president let it be said by friend and foe, he did his duty, did it willingly, and did it well. The following officers were installed for the ensuing year: Miss Euphemia Mcintosh, secretary; Miss Ruth White, assistant; Edgar L. Shaughter, treasurer; William Franks, chaplain; James Loddell, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. and Mrs. John Caldwell are giving up their apartments in the Vipond Hotel to move to West Lake Forest for the winter. Mr. M. T. Bailey, chief state deputy of the Order of True Reformers, has recently purchased of Mrs. Grace Young a lot in the south end of town.

Miss Daisy Ganoway entertained very elaborately the latter part of the week in honor of Miss Bessie Rodger and her brother James, who left the following Monday for school in Atlanta. Miss Gertrude E. Fleming, who was operated on last Friday at Providence Hospital, is improving rapidly and her friends expect to see her well again soon.

Stowes filled the pulpit at the First Baptist Church Sunday and preached two most excellent and interesting sermons, morning and evening. Dr. Stokes has been absent about a month, visiting relatives and friends in St. Louis. He reports a very enjoyable trip and says St. Louis is behind Chicago in many respects as to progress but ahead of it in some. After lifting the mortgage from over his church, taking up the last note and burning the same at a big reception and entertainment, he tendered his resignation and went west. But the church refused to accept Dr. Stokes' resignation and recalled him to their pulpit. Dr. Stokes is an able preacher, an excellent pastor and a monsy hustler. Since his return the church has taken new life and are ready, waiting his leadership, to follow into any financial struggle where he may lead. All were overjoyed to greet him and to welcome him back to Lake Forest and to his church. Mrs. George N. Smith has been on the sick list several days but is now convalescing. 300 MEMBERS Y. M. C. A.

Why, he was condemned to be hanged, but he saved his life by committing suicide in tall." Must Have Pleased Henry Wife—"Henry, you need a rest. Let us go to Bongtong Springs." Hub—"That place!

Continues Segregation at Nation's Capital. Washington, Sept. 29th. — Segregation in the departments here continues, and demotion of Negro employees increases. Last week Dr. J. C. Norwood, for several years section chief in one of the revisers' section in the accounting division of one of the bureaus of the Treasury Department, was removed from that position and a white Democrat appointed to that place. This was done upon the expressed wish of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, John Skelton Williams, who inaugurated the segregation policy since approved by Secretary McAdoo and President Wilson. Dr. Norwood was accounted one of the finest accountants in the bureau. Even the Southern whites accorded him this distinction, and a more perfect gentleman never breathed. In spite of his color, he was the most popular and best liked man in the office in which he serves. His only crime was that his skin was black. This crime is intolerable to John Skelton Williams, the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who hales from Virginia. An effort was made last week to segregate the Negro clerks in the Pension Office. This was temporarily frustrated by the manly stand of the colored clerks in that office. They are, however, being assigned to work that is nearly finished, and this transfer from work that will last indefinitely to work that is nearly up is feared as a ruse to later drop the Negro clerks on the excuse that the class of work on which they are engaged is up, and their services are not needed. AN AMERICAN HEIRESS His Royal Highness, a Fighting Zulu, Will Sail for Africa in State. New York, Oct. 3.—Prince Nadikano Q. Cele, Jr., of Durban, natal, Southeast Africa, has loved and won a charming girl who was a student of Hampton Institute. Miss Julia I. Smith, the bride-to-be, was an excellent student and holds an enviable record in all her studies. By picking a foreign bride the prince saves his father, who is governor of a province, twenty-five to thirty cows, the cost of a Zulu wife. The father of the prince sent him here about nine years ago. The father was a converted Christian and he wished his son to secure a Christian education. He will return to his native country at the expense of Hampton Institute to do missionary work and will start a campaign against the polygamous customs of his people, some of whom have ten to twenty-five wives. He will marry Oct. 20 at Danville, Va., the home of Miss Smith, and the couple will leave Nov. 1 for Southeast Africa. TRUE REFORMERS RETURN.

DEATH OF FREDERICK KELLY. By the death of Fredrick Kelly on Tuesday morning, September 16, another one of the old famous and best known jockeys of this country was removed from this life. Kelly, as he was known, was buried on Sunday a week ago from Zion church, Thirty-eighth and Dearborn streets. He was a member of Pythian Lodge No. 2, Knights of Pythias, and Battle Ax Lodge, Uniform Rank, K. of P., under whose services the services were held. Mr. Kelly became a member of Zion Church and received the sacred rites before his death. The pastor of Zion preached a beautiful sermon, and it no doubt had some effect on a good many of his listeners—at least the lodge members, who better understood the moral of his remarks. Kelly died happy and bade all of his friends and relatives good bye, and asked them to meet him in heaven. He leaves a brother, Alex, and two sisters, Rosa and Fannie, to mourn his death. The interment was at Mt. Glenwood Cemetery. KENTUCKY GIRLS Lavishingly Entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Archie Cuff—Social Event of the Season. Mr. and Mrs. Archie Cuff, 3400 State street, entertained Mrs. Fannie Munfort, her aunt and Miss Lizzie Coleman of Louisville, Ky. The visitors being true Kentuckians and used to true hospitality, were shown real genuine Chicago courtesy in the form of a delightful dinner on last Saturday evening. It was one of the most beautiful functions of the season. The tablecloth used was a wedding present from Mrs. Cuff's brother, Mr. Arthur Ballenger. It was Phillipine drawn work and rich in material. The table was beautifully decorated with roses and carnations. Fine cut glass, linen and silverware were used. An eight-course dinner was served. Wines were served while canary birds sang and the piano was playing. Mrs. Munfort wore a handsome gown of black satin over lace and chiffon. Miss Coleman wore a beautiful white gown, all over embroidered. Particularly striking were the decorations. Pink and green streamers were stretched from the gas arch dome into a cut glass of pink carnations, and at each plate there was a beautiful rose and carnation, tied with pink and green ribbon, with place card for each guest. Diamonds were worn by the hostess and guests of honor. Throughout the luncheon, oriental rags were played by a piano artist. The beautiful gowned ladies and full-dress gentlemen with their silk hats and came in taxis—and it all was for the girls from Kentucky. Blue Monday. In Bavaria and some other parts of Europe the Monday before Lent was at one time known as Blue Monday. The churches were decorated with blue, and the day was kept as a holiday by classes whose ordinary avocation required them to labor on Sunday. As this led to violent disturbances the custom was legally abolished. Epigram. Many a woman's beauty sleep is really a cat nap.—Lippincott's. PERSEVERANCE.

Boston Man Writes Entertainingly of the Early Days Before the Worth of Natural Oil Was of Common Knowledge. Lately the Transcript published news of a proposal to erect a monument to Edward L. Drake, who was one of the earliest to strike oil in Pennsylvania. It recalled incidents of my early life that may be of interest to others. I have a letter written by a brother of my mother from Cannaught, Pa., in 1824; he was a contractor on one of the canals that were being constructed at that time. He gives a sketch of the times and customs and tells of the various canals being planned at that time, and concludes by saying: "If all the canals are built that are now projected, Pittsburgh will become quite a city." Owing to this knowledge my uncle—Henry Burleigh Smith—obtained in this work, he advised his brother—St. John Smith—to go into the wild land speculation that broke out about that time. The firm (Smith & Brown of Portland, Me.) had already dipped in pretty deep by buying wild lands in eastern Malne. However, they bought a few townships in what afterwards proved to be the heart of the oil region. They sent one of their friends, who had just failed in business, to look after the property. His wife accompanied him, and their life was of the most primitive kind. Half a flour barrel served as a washtub; the broad stump of a tree was the branch. She wrote home to her friends that "water was plenty and was very nice for washing, but there was a greasy scum on the top of it in places." The German women told her to boll her clothes in such water—it made them very white. The speculation bubble burst and the firm sold their land in a few years; scarcely was it out of their hands when the value of the oil was discovered. However, they had the comfort of not losing by their transaction. If they had kept it it would have netted millions. My uncle—St. John Smith—subsequently started an oil refinery which was very profitable for many years. As he left a million apiece to his widow and to his children he had no need to mourn that he did not develop that large trust in Pennsylvania. Previous to this episode my Grandmother Smith—who was a daughter of John Burleigh of Newmarket, N. H.—was troubled with deafness. Some doctor recommended a new remedy—"Rock Oil." She obtained a small bottle of it, perhaps equal to a large spoonful, for which she paid a dollar. It was simply this Pennsylvania oil. These things happened when I was a child and now I am trotting along towards my eighty-seventh birthday. It does not seem like the same world I was born into—I. L. C., in the Boston Transcript. Rellglon and Etymology. Mr. Crawford declares that the African mind is fitted to grasp the principles of Christianity with remarkable quickness, strength and accuracy. "Can they appreciate the doctrine of the Trinity?" I asked. He smiled. "Everything in their thought and observation exists in threes. They are Hegelians, and do not know it. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis—they find it everywhere. Hegel did not know he was a Trinitarian. The African takes to the doctrine as to something he has always known." "The Atonement?" "Their language and their thought are full of it. They have many proverbs like this: 'No blood, no blossom.'" Then he made one of his amazing plunges into etymology. "You see, even in English, they are all the same word: 'Blood, bloom, blossom.'" Not only can the African grasp Christianity, but they express it most forcefully and beautifully. For instance this, from the lips of one of our young converts recently: "God allowed sin to unmask itself in the murder of his Son."—Christian Herald. Material for Composers Modern composers who lack the faculty of creating original melodies sometimes try to console themselves with the reflection that the melodic possibilities have been exhausted. How far this is from being true Dr. Ralph Dunstan has shown: "Even with such a short musical form as the Anglican single chant, which consists in its simple statement of the notes, no less than 60,000,000 different melodies are possible, without regarding the multitudinous differences formed by passing and auxiliary notes, harmonies and rhythmical accentuation. Supposing only one in a hundred of these tones to be musically interesting, we have a possible repertory of 600,000 single chants. And if this be true of such a simple and restricted form of melody, with what overwhelming force does it apply to longer and more important compositions!" The chromatic scale yields over 6,000,000 possibilities in the construction of melodies. Twelfth Century Football. In the twelfth century football was a game for the street. The chronicler of that period is how after dinner the city youth addressed themselves to football," and how the scholars of each school and the apprentices of particular trades would each have their peculiar ball. There were spectators, too, in those days—enthusiastic spectators. Fathers would come to watch their sons and "become as youthful as the youngest, their natural heat seeming to be revived at the sight of so much ability." In later years one recalls a famous ball game played in Hyde Park. In 1654, then, "there was a hurling of a great ball by fifty Cornish gentlemen of one side and fifty on the other; one party played in red caps, the other in white." And—here the historical value of the contest—Cromwell was a spectator and applauded the "great agility of body" displayed. 31st St. Garage and Repair Shop BARBER SHOP PORTERS AND SHOE SHINERS Increase your income, make every caller a customer by using Fred H.

The Grand. A few weeks ago in answer to a number of queries regarding the booking of colored acts at the Grand we attempted to show how wise the management of this house was in selecting their talent. True they could fill up their bill nightly with colored acts—the kind that have only one reccommendation, and that is that they are colored; but they will not do for a house of this class. It must be the best or none, and preferably none when they are not the best. This week they have given their patrons a hummer—every act a headliner—and to put the finishing touches on they secured at an enormous expense the greatest act of its kind in vaudeville —Edgar Connor and His Bamboo Girls. This act alone is in worth double the price of admission, Mr. Connor has been the craze in all big-time houses both here and abroad, and his work has a flair and polish that is seldom seen on the stage. The six young ladies who make up his company are classy, they sing well and dance better. Special mention should be made of the clever way Miss Cecil Manor interpreted "You made me love you," and Miss Mattle Harris' rendition of her Spanish number. It is needless to say this act was responsible for the record-breaking attendance. The Great Henri held the audi-speelbound with his dales of dau-ron roller skates. Daly and O'Brian on toter skates. Italy and O'Brien well to call themselves "Tangle-ot Dancers," for that is the only way to express it. Certainly they were good. "The Club Woman," an up-to-date comedy sketch, was presented admirably by Gertrude Magill and company. And Williams and Dixon put over a talking act that was a dream. It was an aggregation of artists that are seldom seen together, and the management is to be congratulated. The States. This house, that started in with a record-breaking attendance and is keeping it up, deserves all the good luck that can come to it. The owner and manager, Tank. believes in spending money to make money, and that is the only true road to success. After the house was completed he found the acoustic properties were not as good as he thought they should be, so he just let a $2,000 contract to remedy that simple defect. When completed it will be so perfect those in the back rows will be able to hear whispering on the stage. A great many people have wondered why pictures are so much plainer in this house than in others. It is not a delusion of the eye. It is a fact, and due to the patented carved curtain, of which Mr. Tank is the inventor. One of the most telling strokes this enterprising manager made was when he secured Joe Jordan and his famous Pekin hostess to entertain his patrons. insure to entertain his parrots, are par excellence and a big drawing card. On this week's bill are to be found Porter and Dewey, who have a neat way of driving a song home to you and making good. The Four Symphony Girls, instrumentalists, who are well worth hearing, and pictures that are the talk of the town. Don't think you are the only "repeater" at this house. They all do it. The Lux. This Saturday and Sunday evenings Manager Zurawski promises the patrons of the Lux a rare treat in the way of pictures and vaudeville. Several artists of note are to appear and pictures that have never before appeared in the outlying houses will be shown. The past week has been marked by an unusually large attendance and the people for miles around consider it one of their solemn duties to attend the pretty playhouse at least two or three times a week; join the crowd and get the habit. TALENTED MUSICIAN asses Away—Services Held at Lincoln Memorial Church. Mr. Sylvanus Smith Jr., talented usian and son of Mr. and Mrs. Sylus Smith of 6316 Champlain Ave., was buried last Sunday from coln Memorial Congregational church. The Rev. Lawrence offici- A. E. ed at the funeral and spoke of his association with the deceased and his conversion and baptism. Dr. A. J. Carey, pastor of Institutional Church, also spoke in a feeling manner of his association and lifelong friendship with the parents of Mr. Smith. He came not as a minister but as a friend to console the broken hearted. So touching were his remarks that there was not an eye was dry, and still, when he had finished, it was as though a dove of peace had settled there above the asket. Mr. Reece, a dear friend of the deceased, sang the beautiful solo, "Face to Face," in that rich tenor which Mr. Smith in life loved so well to accompany. The song, "Nearer My God to Thee," which has comforted so many and which Mr. Smith requested to be sung and played while his soul was taking its flight, was sung. A concourse of friends followed the body to its last resting place at Lincoln cemetery. Mr. Smith was an obedient son, a kind and loving brother, and a sincere friend. There are many who mourn his demise. Harry G. Jenkins. Harry C. Jenkins, the stage manager who opened the Grand Theater, has severed his connection with the house. To his credit he has never missed an act, prompt and courteous to all vaudevillians and by this has made many friends for himself and race. He has been offered the management of an eastern picture house and a local theater in the city. It is to be hoped that Mr. Jenkins will remain in Chicago. Thompson, Cooper and Thompson are making good in vaudeville. They were at Toledo last week and Dayton this week.

However im- A man kneeling in front of a window, gesturing with his hands. A hat is lying on the ground below him. Mr. N. A. Flurry has never been still long enough for any possibilities to light on him. He is one of those distressingly busy men that remind you of a Waterbury watch; they wind and wind and when they get wound, they run and run and next they do it all over again. Mr. Flurry has not accomplished very much, because he has always been in such a hurry that he hadn't time. One morning at the first ring of the alarm clock, set for six, Mr. Flurry fell out of bed, plunged into his clothes, snatched his breakfast, and having a half hour to kill, he awakened the baby and tried to dress it. He let it fall, and as the infant had been badly spolled by its mother, it began to cry, so he gave it to Mrs. Flurry, and worried the dog until he saw a car coming. As usual, it was not the right car. He would have to turn to the office, anyway, had not Mrs. Flurry happened to think of something at the last minute, as she always did. Inveigling him into a kiss, she held onto his collar and said: "Dear, I know how awfully in a hurry you are, and I just hate to ask you—" "Drop it! Stop it!" snapped Mr. Flurry, grabbing his hat. "I'm not going past the grocery at all. I don't expect to make a speech with the butcher, baker or candlestick maker this side of Christmas. Jerusalem! Do you take me for a patent, self-adjusting automobile messenger service? Am I your idea of a working model of perpetual motion? B-r-r!" and he lunged toward the door. "But, love," and Mrs. Flurry clung to the lapel of his coat, not at all shrivelling in the heat of his glare, "it is only a small matter; it will take just a minute. The gas jet in the hall wasn't quite turned off last night and gas is escaping." "Turn it off yourself," snarled Mr. Flurry. "Do you take me for a janitor or a charwoman? Do I look like a chambermaid or a policeman? I am a business man, madam, working with the force of a hydrostatic press to supply you with food and finery, and here you hang on like a wood tick." He flung her off and dashed out, only to fall over a rustie chair. Mr. Flurry swung the chair on high, banged it against the side of the house, and pitched it over the back fence. During that psychological moment, Mr. Flurry felt something crawling across the back of his hand. It was nothing but a wasp, a little creature that God created for reasons of his own. Mr. Flurry had seen hundreds of wasps before, and as a class he cares nothing for them. He is not afraid of them. Indeed, he has been heard to say that he would not hesitate to walk into a swarm of them if he wanted to. The wasp crawled slowly up to his elbow, browsed around and crawled back. It did not walk very heavy, still Mr. Flurry could hear and feel it steps clear back to his teething time. Mrs. Flurry came to the kitchen door. She saw him kneeling, with one hand in the grass and the other rigid in the air, an expression of prayerful contemplation on his chastened countenance, and she felt more kindly toward him and happier than she had been since the day before she was married. She went to him and kissed him. "My ownest," she murmured, "I beg you not to be sorry about the naughty things you have said to me. I know you didn't mean them. You are my own dear. Why don't you get up? Are you going to kneel there and not speak and just get purple in the face until I forgive you? You needn't. I have already forgiven you, and I'm glad it all happened, because we understand each other better, now. What is the matter with your arm? Is it paralyzed? Let me see. What is that wasp doing up your sleeve? Why don't you shake it out?" "Shaking before taking is the natural order," he answered, in a low tone. "The wasp is already there; it has arrived; and I want it to feel free to leave without mutual unpleasantness?" While he was making himself out a modern Siddartha, in a kind of monotone that wouldn't offend the wasp, Mrs. Flurry got it by the head and dropped it in the rain barrel. Which is Truly Scientific. "I thought you said Tompkins was an omniverous reader?" "So I did." "Pshaw! Why, he hasn't even read 'David Copperfield.'" "I forgot to tell you that he confines his reading to a single subject." "Some branch of science?" "Yes, baseball." "I saw Miss Plumber on the beach yesterday in a decidedly abbreviated bathing suit, but I only looked at her once." "I understand. You didn't take your eyes off until she disappeared for the day." "Can't you bring some fat friend home to dinner? I positively must have some heavy-weight to sit on my trunk."

The speaker reviewed the history of this noble organization, emphasizing forcibly its principles, and reminded his hearers that if they carried them out in their daily walks they would make strong men. But Dr. Thomas went further, and said that if they practiced Christianity they would exert a wonderful amount of wholesome influence on their fellow men, and said a true Mason must be a Christian. Two splendid companies sat under the sound of his voice, and they were men of character and standing, and Chicago needs to be congratulated upon the fact that it has within its borders such a fine class of men who have gone to the highest rounds of Masonry, who looked and acted their part so well last Sunday. AFFAIRS IN AFRICA. JOINING LABOR UNIONS JOINING LABOR UNIONS. There was a movement in the Southern Labor Congress that is now being to bar colored representatives from working in the labor force, finally poured on the troubled waters, number of delegates got together one night and threshed the matter out, with the result that at the morning session it was voted to admit them, there being only one or two dissenting votes. It was also recommended that the employees of the L. & N. railroad be organized, so as to make their demands more effective and receive a square deal in hours and pay. As we have pointed out in previous issues, the unions cannot afford to bar the colored workman. If they do he becomes a foe to be reckoned with—powerful, because the rich corporal is the man and, while he is being used as a tool, he is deriving the benefit of the unfortunate situation. Now that these organizations show a willingness to meet us half way it is up to us to do the rest. Let every laboring man stick to his fellow workman as long as he finds it will be of mutual benefit. AFRICAN DIP: In a half-column article an editor of one of the big dallies in Ohio beamed the fact that at their county fair there were to be seen no "smoky dodgers," or, as they are familiarly known in our amusement parks, African Dips—a colored boy with his head through a hole waiting for somebody to hit him with a ball. In his opinion his absence was due to the criticism of esthetic folk who think the performance barbarous and degrading. Whether it is true or not, as they claim the scientists state that sorrowed man has a heavy and massive heart and face. We are glad a stop is being put to such performances. We are heartily ashamed of any person who would accept a position so degrading to the whole race. Making a monkey of yourself might appeal to the American sense of humor, but we are past that stage now, and it is against our policy to respond to encores. WIDOWS OF W. H. LEE Just whose husband William H. Lee, the wealthy Chicago publisher who died some few weeks ago, was seems to be still shrouded in mystery. Widows from all parts of the country are laying claim to that honor, and each one has more or less evidence to substantiate her claim. For a man who lived such a seclusive life he certainly made an enviable record along matrimonial lines, if we are to judge by the scores of claimants who are now putting in an appearance. Up to the present it would seem that Mrs. Lucinda Anderson has the most valid claim, and in response to a petition County Judge Owens ordered the greedy Anderson might identify the real reason Lee left an estate estimated at $200,000, which the probate court so far has in charge. There seems to be no question but what Lee was a colored man, and it is too bad if the rightful owner is unable to establish her identity. It was a mystery why a man at the close of his career, especially, should deny his race when that race needs support so badly. Every reader of this paper who can throw any light on this subject should communicate with the proper authorities at once. Whether it is Mrs. Anderson or some other claimant, the state of Illinois can well get along without receiving legacies from our people. THE HARRISTON OUTRAGE. While there is positively no excuse for lynching under any circumstances, there was an excuse, and a very good one, for the residents of Harrison, Miss, putting an end to the lives of Walter and Will Jones, who began an unwarranted reign of murder that ended only when they had killed seven, mortality wounded about twenty more and were themselves put to death. There was no motive for their acts, they simply being crazed with drugs and drink. They were not particular who they killed, as white and black suffered all alike. Troops were sent to the scene on the presumption that there would be a race riot, but there was no semblance of a disturbance. We are often accused of protecting our criminals—an accusation that is unjust. We are law-abiding citizens and as anxious to see the had of our race punished as those of other races are to see theirs. We do not object to prosecution, but to persecution. It is unfortunate that such crimes as those committed in Harrison should occur, but as long as there is a lower, uneducated class of any race we must expect such things. The pity is that all are sometimes made to suffer for the misdeeds of a few. FREDERICK DOUGLASS MEMOIAL A concerted effort should be made by members of the race in every state in the Union to raise funds to pay off the mortgage that hangs over the historical Frederick Douglass home in Washington, D. C. It was bequeathed to us with all the furniture, books, papers, art treasures and curtios, as well as fifteen acres of land, to be maintained as a memorial the same as Mount Vernon. The mortgage will have to be lifted this year, and it would be a sad reflection upon the race if we should fail to meet this obligation in this, the year we are celebrating our fifth anniversary of emancipation—a cause to which this grand old man contributed his life. Every minister in this big city, and in all other cities, should consider it his solemn duty to impress upon his congregation the necessity of giving to this worthy cause, and a special collection to that end should be taken. In publishing the names of the men and it should be a pleasure to contribute your mite and show your race pride. The Douglass is a large old southern mansion, situated at the top of Cedar Hill, Anacostia, D. C., overlooking the Potomac river and Washington. It has enhanced in value wonderfully in the past few years, and we must not and will not permit it to slip from our hands. Who will be the first to come to the rescue? OUR POLICY. FROM OUR EXCHANGES. "It is indeed a healthy sign when the white newspapers begin condemning lynchings in no uncertain tone. The trouble heretofore has been the all but spoken sympathy for mob law. But the thing has been carried too far. White men make the law and if it is not to be observed by them, why the time and money wasted in such enactment is all but wasted. Now let the pulpit get busy and mob law will soon be at an end. Either that or civilization must cease."—Southern Indicator. --- "Unless married men are kept confined so that their complaints about the extravagance of their wives is kept down, the Fashion Show may postpone many a marriage. Love-sick youths may quit the walks of Cupid, terrified by the prices of Fashion's lavish display.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "Some one who said that the men who succeed are the ones who take a reasonable chance. "The sure thing individual cannot make much progress from the fact that progress in itself is composed largely of risks. "Colored persons contemplating entering the business arena should be sure of their ground and make a study of business from all angles. Failures result from, three things, lack of capital, bad management, and inexperience. Most colored people enter a line of business they know but little about and spend no little time learning how much they must learn in order to succeed. When they have finished their course they usually have to quit, because the business would not support the burden of apprenticeship management. "If you have failed in business you will recognize one of the above reasons as the cause. "If you contemplate business, study business."—Springfield, Ill., Optimist BALTIMORE QUAKES When Hon. Cummings Breaks Forth in Star Spangled Banner Fashion on Segregation of His People, Many Southerners Were Heard to Say If He Were Only White He Would Be a Man. (Special to The Defender.) Baltimore, Md., Oct. 3.—Mayer Preston has fixed his signature to the administration segregation ordinance, making it a law. The ordinance makes it a crime for any white person to use as a residence or place of abode any house, building or structure in any colored block. The same restrictions apply to the colored race. The legality of the ordinance was attacked by Councilmen Harry S. Cummings and Mr. Benswanger. The bill passed by a vote of 15 to 4. Baltimore goes on record as fathering one of the most iniquitous bills ever enacted by a city government. The bill is a creature of race prejudice of the lowest and most inhumane nature. Such an act is a blot on the name of Baltimore and its citizens and reeked with Negrophobia. The opposition to the bill was made by Harry S. Cummings, the only colored solon in the body. The news that Mr. Cummings would speak attracted some city officials and taxpayers to the chamber. Mayor's secretary, Robert E. Lee, City Librarian Coyle and City Statistician Flack were among those present. His speech, which was a defense of the colored race and a plea for fairness and kind treatment, was listened to with deep interest. He said: While I know that it is not within my power to prevent the passage of this ordinance, yet I feel it my duty toward my people and toward the cause of justice to oppose it by my voice and my vote. This ordinance, like the others of its kind, is trying to do the impossible thing; that is, to thwart and hinder human progress. Neither prejudice, ill feeling nor temporary power can eventually prevent the triumph of justice or stop the tide of progress to which all humanity assures. The *r* mpt of a people to better the conditions of their home life, to bring health and happiness to themselves and children should be encouraged rather than make them the objects of derision and contempt, and the victims of unjust and unconstitutional punishment there is a sentiment in favor of this legislation, but I submit it is unfair and unjust to my struggling people. Aye more, it is unfair and unjust to the great number of white taxpayers whose properties long vacant by the drift of population, and who are compelled to pay their taxes on these vacant houses, to have the additional burden which this law imposes, making it a crime to receive rent from a certain class of citizens. I admit that the ablest, the best and the most ingenious legal talent of our city and state has been called into play to devise a law which will meet the test of our highest state and federal courts, but their labors will eventually go for naught, for the simple reason that it is an attempt to find a lawful way to do an unwalful thing. No law like this one, which permits a citizen to own property, and denies to him the right to enjoy it, can stand the test of our state or United States constitutions. I venture the prediction that this ordinance, like its predecessors, will fall and be declared unconstitutional when it is taken, as it surely will be, to the highest court in the land. "Time WILL Adjust All Things." No one depreciates more than I any semblance of bitter feeling and race antagonism, and no one will go further than I to allay them, and this sentiment is shared by the thoughtful, conservative and law-abiding people of my race, who are endeavoring to conform to the highest ideals in education, religion and morality, so that they may fully measure up to the highest standard of citizenship. If in the most of these temporary disturbances cooler heads and better judgments prevail, then all will go well. I am not the least alarmed or discouraged. I am optimistic and fully believe that time will adjust all these things, and it is my earnest hope and belief, with prejudice toward none, but I am confident that all that soon the sentiment which underlies this ordinance will pass away, and that we all, regardless of race or creed, will work together for the common good and the onward progress of our beloved city and state. The colored citizens are now making preparations to have the legality of the ordinance tested by the state courts and if they fail here they will go to the supreme court. The legal lights of the city agree there is no ground in the constitution for such segregation. It is feared here by many that if the law is ever enforced that there will be bloodshed—that men who have spent their lifetime in accumulating property will not give it up because of a prejudiced council or a comparatively small class. HOW WE FALL It is going to be easier for us to get worse than it was to get as bad as we are—Waldo Baston. DRAWN WILLIAMS. Syphilis, or Fire in the Blood. Syphilis is an infectious, contagious disease, disseminated largely by fillet, promiscuous sexual intercourse. It is carried largely by male profligates and female prostitutes, and is communicated, by direct contact through the medium of some carrier of the disease or heredity. Syphilis also is as old as the human family. It is no trivial affair and cannot be cured by using a little "calumus powder" (calomel). It is said that in the time of Job and Lazarus syphilis was very prevalent and that these two ancient patrilarchs had an awful struggle and suffered much from the effects of this disease. Seventy-five per cent of all hyphilitic infection is due to direct contact during sexual congress, though syphilis may be acquired in many other ways and lays its toll of suffering and misery upon the innocent wife, babe, sister and often the innocent boy or husband. Syphilis is often acquired through the act of kissing, drinking cup, towels and other articles in common use promiscuously, and by heredity. A syphilic father may beget syphilic children and the sins of the syphilic father or mother are often visited upon the third and fourth generations; hence, the dangerous and awful consequences following syphilic infection. It is more dangerous and more to be dreaded than smallpox, as syphilis is the big pox; it is responsible for more misery and suffering, feeble mindedness, insanity, mental and physical degeneration, and it renders more men and women, boys and girls incapacitated for self support and causes a greater burden to be thrown upon society, than cancer and all the other acute and infectious diseases combined, including measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid fever, malaria, small-pox, ete. Stages or Course of Syphilis For general purposes the stages of syphilis are divided into three: First or Primary Stage; Second or Secondary Stage and the Third or Tertiary Stage. PRIMARY—In the primary stage occurs the first manifestation of the disease in what is known as the chancre or lesion, which may occur at the point of contact in the form of a little pimple or abrasion; it often happens on the lip, tongue, or other parts of the body and is very often mistaken for cold sores, fever blisters, or simple pimples. These chancres may appear on different parts of the body of the baby at the time of birth. The lesion may appear in from two to three weeks after exposure to infection or inoculation, and may be so slight as to escape notice or detection that any sore appearing after 10 or 15 days of doubtful exposure should be regarded with deep suspicion and a competent physician consulted for diagnosis, because this is the time for getting busy and a good stitch in time will save nine in the future. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH THOUGHT. Do you go to the "movies"? If not, you are an exception, for there are few people in Chicago now that are not attracted occasionally at least to these cheap and popular places of amusement, the moving picture theaters. But some of these places are very dangerous places for people to visit for the reason that they are not properly ventilated; some not at all. For the reason that the air in such places is dirty and dangerous, they should be avoided. So, when you go to see a moving picture show, look for a theater that has a card posted in the entrance which reads like this: DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH City of Chicago. THIS IS TO CERTIFY that this theater is equipped with a system of ventilation, which, if operated as it is intended to be, will insure to the patrons the supply of fresh air required by law. (Signed) G. B. YOUNG, SEAL, Commissioner of Health. If you don't see the card, move on until you find a theater that displays this certificate of approval signed by the Commissioner of Health, and which informs you that the proprietor of the theater has compiled with the law and is making an honest effort to provide for the comfort and safety of his patrons. It can be readily understood that there is a vast difference in the air people will get in a well-ventilated theater and that which they are compelled to breathe in one that has no ventilation at all. The Department of Health has made many tests of the air in the five and ten cent theaters, theaters in theaters, as seen in Chicago, and in every instance the air from the unventilated theaters showed the presence of bacteria in large numbers as compared with that taken from those places where the ventilation was good. These tests mean that, approximately, a person in the bad-air theater takes fifty times greater chances of catching some infection than he would in the well-ventilated theater. For health reasons Keep Healthy By Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams A Weekly Talk on Preventative Measures, First Aid Remedies, Hygienics, Sanitation. No Cases will be Diagnosed and No Prescriptions will be Given in This Column. VENEREAL PERIL Kissing. Rotten Air "Movies" City of Chicago alone and to prevent needless sickness and suffering, the Department of Health urges people to patronize only those places where the card of approval is placed. The Commissioner of Health emphasizes the importance of following these suggestions for the reason that some of the moving picture men are not inclined to obey the law and are doing all they can to prevent its proper enforcement. These men are not willing to spend the money that would be required to make their places safe. In other words, they are thinking more of the dollars they are of the health and safety of their patrons. Such men do not deserve the advantage of the people whose health they imperl; and there is little doubt that they will bestow it, once they are informed as to the kind of theater to visit and the kind to shun. MINISTER FURNISS Returns After Eight Years at Hayti Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—Dr. Henry W. Furnish, who has just retired as United States minister to Haylil, after a brilliant service of eight years, was in the city this week and spent two days at the state department paying his respects and winding up the affairs of his administration. Dr. Furnish was dean of the diplomatic corps at Port-au-Prince, and was highly respected by representatives of all the powers at the Haylil capital, as well as by the people of the republic and the heads of the native government. Polished, suave and absolutely impartial in his dealings, he was popular with each of the presidents that have come and gone during his there, and revolutions had no terrors on him. His retirement is purely voluntary, as it has been known for months that he has anxious to be relieled that he might join his family in Europe, whither they went last spring, just after he tendered his resignation to President Wilson. Dr. Furniss received an ovation at the state department, being warmly commended for his successful management of p number of delicate negotiations and for his activity in extending American commerce throughout the Haitian republic and the maintenance of the prestige of this government in all matters requiring intellectual finesse and diplomatic skill. Secretary of State Bryan devoted several hours to a personal interview with Dr. Furniss, and Assistant Secretaries Osborne, Adee and Solliert Folk of Missouri joined nearly in the acclaim bestowed upon the named Indianian. As/ well known, Dr. Furniss is a grad. of the Indian Marian College has served in the census ar departments here, after practicing medicine in Indianapolis. He was named as consul to Bahia, Brazil, in 1897 by President McKinley, and was promoted to the Haitian mission in 1905 strictly upon his merits by President Roosevelt. DEFENDER INCREASE Miss Mattie Stewart, 17 East 23d street, who recently opened a cigar store with laundry office connected, became an agent for The Defender, taking five; now she sells fifty. She says The Defender is the best seller of all the papers. Editor R. E. Montgomery was in the city this week on business and dropped in The Defender office to pay his respects. Editor's Savings An editor who started about twenty years ago with only 55 cents is now worth $100,000.

Pesthase the most productive of all trees is the carambaba tree, similar to the pine tree, which flourishes along the Rio Grande. When it is young it produces vinegar, while the roots have a taste similar to sarsaparilla. The branches give forth nuts which, when roasted can be used as coffee. The tree's wood is serviceable to many musical instruments. Lastly there is a wax extracted from it that is used to make candies. ```markdown ``` WHAT WOULD FRANKLIN Little Book He Tried to Suppress Brings $5,000 at Auction—Only Two Copies Known. When Benjamin Franklin came to London from Philadelphia in 1724, according to a writer in the Daily Telegraph, he work found as a composer, in a printing office. While setting up Wollaston's "Religion of Nature" he felt a revolt against some of the arguments, and thereupon wrote his own "Dissertation on Liberty and Necessity, Pleasure and Pain." Moreover, having written it, he printed it himself. He was then nineteen years of age. In after years Franklin regretted his precocious efforts, and suppressed or destroyed most of the 100 copies of the tract. He did this so thoroughly that only two survivors are known, and one of these came up in the Huth sale at Sotheby's, held recently. Now for the romance of values. About 1850 the late Mr. Henry Stevens, the well-known bookseller, bought this copy for 50 cents. He offered it to the British museum for $5. It was refused. He then tried two clients, Mr. Brown and Mr. James Lenox, at $25. Nothing done. Throwting it into auction at Puttick's (with a lengthy description) he was rewarded with a bid of $100, Mr. Brown holding the belated British museum at that price. In the Hotten sale, 1872, the British museum lost it again at £22 10s, and it eventually joined the Huth library. At the auction referred to the son and namesake of the late M. Stevens was ready. Remembering the price his father had originally given, he pleasured called, "Half a crown," and Mr. Hodge, the auctioneer, courteously accepted it, knowing the motive behind the call. The next bid was the price, £250 coming from Mr. Quaritch's representative with the duel between him and Mr. Stevens. With a big effort the former reached £1,000. "Now Mr. Stevens, guineas?" said Mr. Hodge. "No. £," replied Mr. Stevens, and at the enormous sum of £1,005 the more than sibiline survivor was his, although Mr. Hodge playfully suggested to his rival, "Just beat him by his family half crown!" Mr. Stevens was especially pleased with his victory, because, as he pointed out, the other copy of the Franklin relic known to him in the Stevens-Franklin collection to the government of the United States in 1881. Love and Money. A grande passion can put up with almost anything and not notice it; it can even put up with keeping accounts. It can record with a fountain pen that dinner and the play, with attendant details, cost $6.55, though that looks as if one had bought pleasure at a department store. The grande passion can do more; it can stop at home cheerfully if dinner and the play are too expensive. What the grande passion cannot do is to say, "So much for you and so much for me." Romeo that he has less money to speechec that he has married Juliet; and Juliet that does not grow wistful because Romeo runs an account at the butcher's instead of at the forster's. It cannot be denied that Romeo sometimes regrets the account at the forster's, and that Juliet sometimes wishes that Romeo had not to pay her bills. But that is another matter. When, however, husband and wife begin to discuss an "allowance," they are already a long way from Arcadia. Let Romeo and Juliet arrange their budget as they will—arranging a budget might be a certain nursery game—so long as the high humor of life, then the come to it with grim faces, then the come to it with the inconsideredness or extravagance, it is time to call in the apothecary—The Atlantic. Bate Are Helpful "Never bat a bat, for he's battling for humanity," is not the title or refrain of a popular song, but it is in effect the title of a warning issued by the experts of the department of agriculture against the killing or destruction of the nocturnal winged fighters. The warning was issued as the result an accumulation of inquiries as to the best methods of exterminating bats. "Bats are a benefit, rather than a plague," the statement declares, "as they destroy mosquitoes and a number of other insects that harm crops and orchards. The superstition that they entangle themselves in women's hair is without foundation. On the contrary, the ordinary bat is a harmless creature." The department experts give official recommendation to the vampire bat, which, they称, "sucks the blood of animals." Subtle Advertising A successful hotel manager pointed to the advertisement of a hotel in A lantic City. This advertisement read "Special rates to single men." "The proprietor of that hotel," said he, "deserves to succeed. He lays in his advertisement a subtle trap for men with marriageable daughters. They read the advertisement and the conclude that, given lower rates a this hotel, single men will be plentiful. They therefore decide that there is the place undoubtedly to take their daughters." Then, laughing, he concluded: "These mothers quite correctly believe that as far as their daughters' chances of matrimony are concerned, the more the marryer." Phones Bad for Morale In his charge to the grand jury, Judge Frank Carter at Ashaville, N.C., said modern conditions are tending toward the downfall of the government, and that the telephone is one of the most provocative causes of immorality and has increased the cost of living at least 30 percent.

Dr. Harry Garnes, the dentist, is back from his home with a hung-down head. The wealthy Columbus girl said nay to Dr. Garnes when he asked for her hand. The genial doctor thought he was "all set," but no wedding march was played for him. The doctor says, however, "faint heart never won fair lady," and is still in the race. Physician's Best Qualification The best doctors have brown eyes, and it is acknowledged on all sides that the man who is a good doctor is so not because he is more skilful in knowing what medicines to give or in handling the operating knife, but because of his power of soothing his patients and giving them the impression that they are safe in his hands.

The churches were decorated with blue, and the day was kept as a holiday by classes whose ordinary avocation required them to labor on Sunday. As this led to violent disturbances the custom was legally abolished. The United States consumes more than 28 per cent. of the total production of cocon, or over 60 tons per annum. Germany consumes almost 50 tons, and France 28,044 tons each year. Great Britain uses over 25 tons, so it may be seen that this is an enormous industry, and one of the most valuable products grown. A boy was observed dragging a fine looking but evidently weary dog along the street on a hot day. A kindly woman stopped the lad and offered to buy the dog for 50 cents. "Fifty cents, nothin!" came the indignant answer. "I want at least a dollar more for him. Why, his old master gave me $1 to take him away." He—I often think of how I won your heart. She—I often think of how you have lost it.

Possessors of Great Wealth Debarred From Owning Anything That Is Difficult to Acquire—Joy He Is Doomed to Miss. Great wealth takes away as many things from a man as it brings him, asserts William Frederick Dix in the New York Independent. The man of many millions loses one of the greatest pleasures in life—the zest of ownership, that sense of satisfaction which comes with the possession of something which has been longed for and finally acquired with difficulty. If something that one possesses can, if lost or broken, be at once replaced without the expenditure of anything that can be missed, it necessarily has no value, because whether it is lost or not is immaterial. This is a perfectly simple law of human nature working automatically and universally. The value of a possession depends upon the sacrifices required to obtain it and the difficulty of replacing it. The only exceptions to this are the things of no intrinsic worth, such as heirlooms, tokens of love, or souvenirs with sentimental associations. Those are precious but not valuable. The countless tempting, material things of life that lure the unwealth—clothes, toys, books, furniture, pictures, motors, yachts and so on—cannot bring with them the full joy of possession to the man who has but to stretch out his hand to take them. The fascination of the jewelers' window are not for him. He can select anything and everything in the shop which he fancies and tuck it into his pocket without pricing it. His secretary will draw a check for the bill. He may fancy these jewels, but he cannot prize them, they have no endowment of charm, because they have been acquired without effort and could be replaced without the slightest inconvenience. The rich boy has never known the ecstasy of owning a pushmobile made out of a soap box. The joy of saving and planning for, and finally selecting a certain long coveted fishing rod, or canoe, or set of books, can never come to him. One might say that the pleasure of ownership is only one of degree after all—that the poor man finds pleasure in owning his cottage and the rich man in owning his railroad. Poets have for ages sung of the joys of home, the sweetness of the hearthside and the happiness found at the vine clad cottage door, but have any poets ever sung the hallowed delights of owning a chain of rolling mills, or extolled the joys of the financier as he acquires the voting control of a railroad system? How can a man of many millions conceive of the delights of digging and planting a little suburban garden, planning for it winter evenings with his wife's eager help, buying the seeds and coaxing them during the radiant summer days into fruitage, when the only garden he knows is the vast, formal one on his country estate, planned and built by the landscape architect, cultivated by foreign gardeners and visited by himself for an occasional after dinner promenade? It is not his, he merely transferred a few thousand for the title to it. The patting lovingly into place of the seeds, the weeding and watering and watching and welcoming of the first shy shoots are not for him. He does not see the timid thrusting out of tender green things in the spring, the dawn of fragrant color as the buds open to the sunshine, and, finally, the full flower and fruit, nor feel the pride of fatherhood, of ownership, of possession as he looks over his garden. Tony or Mike or Sam have attended to all those details! And what a world of joy, of beauty and fragrance, what peace and content, what a feeling of triumph have his millions robbed him of in the unfolding of that garden! The man of many millions has been given many things, but he has been deprived of a corresponding number of things which count in this world. Why Called "Woolsack." An appointment to the "Woolsack" is synonymous to an appointment to the lord high chancellorship of England. The woolsack is a sort of broad, square, flat, blue cloth divan in the house of lords and is supposed to consist of tightly packed wool. There are several of these woolsacks placed in the center alle of the house midway between the throne and the cross benches. It is the one nearest the throne that is occupied by the lord high chancellor. The others are reserved for the use of the judges of the high court, who sit in the house of lords for the purpose of giving legal advice, but who do not vote. The woolsacks date from ancient days, stringent laws were enacted to prevent the exportation of wool, which was then regarded as the chief source of the wealth of the nation, and that the importance of this staple product of the realm might be kept constantly in mind by the legislators woolsacks were placed in the house of peers as seats for the lord high chancellors and others. Resourceful Cook. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed. "That horrid groceryman never sends me what I want." "What seems to be the trouble now, darling?" asked the fond husband, with tender anxiety. "Well, the Browns are coming to dinner tonight, and I was going to have asparagus vinalgrette. The recipe in my cook book says that the bleached kind of asparagus should be used, and the grocer has sent me this nasty fresh green kind. What shall I do?" "Can't you telephone to the grocery and have them change the order?" "No, it's too late. Oh, I'll tell you! Run over to the corner drug store and get a bottle of peroxide, and I'll bleach it myself!" "What a resourceful little wife I have!" he murmured proudly, as he reached for his hat. SKILLFUL WITH THE ARROW Amazon Indians, Using Poisoned Weapons, Are by No Means a Poet to Be Desplied, The uncanny skill of the Amazon Indians with poisoned arrows won the awed admiration of Mr. Algot Lange, who was cured of jungle-fever by Mageromas after his comrades had succumbed to beriberi and poisonous swamp snakes. In his book, "In the Amazon Jungle," Mr. Lange describes a hunting trip that he made with two members of the tribe: "We had scarcely gone a mile, when we discovered on the opposite bank of the creek, about one hundred and fifty yards away, a wild hog rooting for food. We were under cover of the brush, but the hog was in full view. Almost simultaneously my companions fitted arrows to their bowstrings. Instead of shooting pointblank and manipulating the bows with their hands and arms, they placed their great toes on the lower end of the bowstrings, and with their left arms gave the proper tension and inclination to the bows, which were eight feet long. With a whir the poisoned arrows shot forth, sailed gracefully through the air, described a hyperbola, and plunged into the animal's neck, a little back from the base of the brain. "The hog dropped in his tracks, and I doubt if he could have lived even if the arrows had not been poisoned. We slung the body over a heavy pole and carried it to the malaec. "All the way the hunters disputed over the ownership of the hog, and from time to time they put the carcass on the ground to gesticulate and argue. When they appealed to me, I declared that the arrows had sped so rapidly that I could not tell which had found its mark first. "As we neared the house, the chief sent out a messenger to learn the cause of the altercation. The emissary returned to the chief and the disputants became quiet. The messenger soon came back, and said that the great chief would judge the case, and ordered the men to enter the maloca. The chief motioned me to a seat on the ground beside his hammock. The men told their story, now and then looking to me for an affirmative nod of the head. The chief listened to the argument for some time without uttering a syllable, and regarded the crowd with a steady, unblinking expression. Then he said: 'The hog is mine. Go!' "Strange as it may seem, there was no grumbling at this extraordinary decision." - Youth's Companion Open-Air Sleeping. There is a fad just now among English society persons for sleeping in the open air. A devotee of this new "cure" is Lady Byron, who sleeps in a corner of her picturesque garden, which slopes up to Hampstead Heath. The pioneer of the movement, which has spread all over the British Isles, from shooting boxes in Scotland to fishing huts in Ireland, is a well known Scottish hostess, who one day, as an experiment, had twelve beds placed for guests to occupy. If they liked, in different parts of her spacious garden. Endless amusement was caused by one elderly guest, who insisted on making an extensive tour in the vicinity of her bed to see that no spiders—of which she had a great dread—were lurking in the neighborhood. Mme. Cecil Marr describes to the Daily Mirror this latest craze. "Really fashionable people do not dream of sleeping under a roof at this time of the year," she says. "They have their beds taken out of doors into the garden. Ladies who have almost begun to despair of their complexions take heart again after a few weeks' trial of this 'all weather' treatment. Sleeping in the open has a remarkably steading effect on the nerves, and is a sovereign remedy for insomnia." Prince of Spendthrifts. Paris is now in the throes of the greatest financial crash it has known since the notorious Humbert case. M. Deperdussin, silk merchant, aeroplane bulder and the owner of four theaters, secured large advances of money on supposed enormous stocks of silk, and his total indebtedness, chiefly to Paris bankers, amounts to $8,000,000. He owned an aeroplane factory in Paris, owned newspapers, owned flying grounds at Etampes and Villacourlay, workshops for building motorboats and hydroaeroplanes, and three magnificent country seats. Before he launched out in his silk schemes he was a traveler for a chocolate firm in Belgium, and in 1896 he was earning his living as cabaret singer, says the Indianapolis News. According to the Paris Tempes, when he became wealthy he was wont to make up merry parties of four or five young women and have them at dinner. When they unfolded their napkins each of the girls would find a 1,000 franc note—$200—in her napkin. M. Deperdussin is in prison. He Found Out. Jones wished to impress his wife and their guests, who were dining at a local hotel with him, of his importance. He began by "warming up" to the waiter. "Say," said Jones at what he believed the opportune time, "I have seen you some place, haven't I?" "Ah, I have it," continued Jones, "it was in Chicago. I remember now, you ____." "No, sir, no siree. I never was in that place in my life. Maybe it was at Brighton Beach, sir. I worked there all summer."—Indianapolis news. Remarkable. Frost—Sometimes one runs across his friends in the most unexpected places. Snow—True. Yesterday I found Agnes at home.

PORO HAIR GROWER PORO HAIR GROWER Mme,Leora Smith one year after the use of Pore Hair Grower Youthful Diplomat Harry is small but diplomatic. The other day he wanted his mother to come out on the veranda with him. The mother, being busy, refused, and Harry invented various expedients, from informing her that he was tired and lonely to complaining of a pain in his tummy, in the hope of inducing her to change her mind. Finally he called sweetly: "Mother, dear, I don't want you to stay out here if you don't want to, but I do want to kiss you very much." Mother came out. What Did She Think He Wanted? The Millers went on a tour by motor car and arrived late one evening at a village, which was crowded for the annual fair. There was only one inn and not a bed in it to be had. The couple were tired out and felt unable to go any further, so Miller said to the landlady: "Can't you give me a bundle of hay?" "I'm sorry sir," she said. "There's not a thing left but a bit of cold roast beef." Blue of the Sky. Oxygen is not colorless, but of a pretty blue color, even in a layer of slight thickness. Liquid air has a bluish that increasing in depth with the proportion of oxygen. While it is not certain that a body has the same color in a solid as in the gaseous state, it is nevertheless true that this at once suggests an explanation of the phenomenon of the blue color of the sky.—Scientific American. Tree Dispels Water On one of the Canary islands there is a tree which dispels from its branches actual rain to such an extent that a cistern placed at its base is never unfilled. This tree grows in one of the driest islands, through which no water ever flows. The branches of the trees are a cloud that changes into moisture frequently and sheds clear water. Flowers of Music. The graces—namely, the shake, the turn, the appogiatura, etc.—are the flowers of music; and the clear, correct, and delicate execution of them embellishes and exalts every melody and every passage. But when they are played stiff, hard, or unintelligibly, they may rather be compared to blots of ink or spots of dirt—Carl Czerny. Unfreezable. "Can any one name a liquid that doesn't freeze?" asked the teacher. There was a moment's silence, says the Berliner Illustrate Zeitung. Then a voice in the rear of the room answered, eagerly, "Please, teacher, hot water!" No Cause to Worry. Old Bullion—"it galls me to think that my money goes into your spend-thrift hands when I die."
